Rhodohypoxis
They flower for months and are really easy as long as you stick to a few basic principles. Rhodohypoxis are a small bulbous plant
native to southern Africa, and is typically found in South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland. The mountainous regions where it is
found generally have a summer of rainfall followed by relatively dry winters. It is suggested that the conditions are recreated in
order to for them to thrive.
If planted in your garden, then they need watering in the summer and protection in winter from our cold and wet climate. The
combination of wet and cold can cause the corms to rot. Rhodohypoxis are ideal for alpine troughs and containers, which can be
taken indoors or a greenhouse for winter. It is important though to keep them cool or they’ll need watering.
The great thing about them is the longevity of its flowering time. It will flower between late March and October. Creating an array
of colourful blooms throughout the summer. The star shaped flowers range in colour from white to pink to red
Rhodohypoxis is perfect for rock gardens or the front of borders on very free draining soils. Height: 15cm (6"). Spread: 10cm (4")
