Description Fine Print
 
Crossyne flava occurs in the winter rainfall region of the Western Cape of South Africa and was once included in the genus Boophone. It emerges in fall with huge round spheres up to 16 inches across of up to 200 small light yellow flowers held on apricot pedicels. The flowers produce copious nectar and are popular with bees, butterflies, and moths. The foliage grows through the fall and winter as 4-6 broad, leathery leaves up to 16 inches long with white to straw-coloured fringed edges that lie flat against the ground like botanical starfish. Keep bulbs completely dry when dormant. Our nursery-grown bulbs are 2 years old as of 2023 and will reach adult blooming size at about 7-8 years.
