Haemanthus katherinae

Bold foliage, exotic blossoms, and easy care: These are what you bring home in this mega-sized South African bulb. "Tangerine" fits the flower color, but the form defies description by a lone adjective. The flowers look like giant orange dandelion seed heads! Grow it in a pot in light shade, or in well-drained, open ground. Whether for foliage alone or flowers, too, it's an exotic statement where winter lows stay above 25 degrees.
