Brunsvigia gregaria, the gregarious candelabra lily, blooms in the fall with impressive umbels of pink to deep pink, fragrant flowers on deep red stalks. The flowers are followed by 4-8 large, flat, hairy, rounded leaves that lie flat on the ground like a fat starfish. As this is a fall- and winter-growing species it can take some moisture in the winter but should be kept dry once it goes dormant in spring. Plant the bulb mostly buried with the neck just above the soil. This is a non-hardy bulb that can be grown as a houseplant or in a heated greenhouse or sunroom. It's perfect for those interested in bulbs and houseplants and for succulent lovers looking to branch out. Our nursery-grown bulbs are 4 years old as of 2023. We are unsure at what age this species will reach blooming size but other species will bloom around 6-10 years of age.
