Watsonia Mount Congreve Coral' |

Plant type: Bulb |

|
This beautiful South African bulbous plant is a joy in my garden. It has tough sword-like leaves that stay green throughout the year in most positions. In June/July it produces upright spikes of tubular salmon flowers (not really coral!) set against dusky purple stems. It's a realiable flowerer, forming a good clump. This Watsonia prefers a sunny well drained position, but will still bloom in part shade. |
