candelabra lily

Notes

Candelabra lily (Brunsvigia bosmaniae) is a bulb for containers, rock gardens, and indoor growing. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and dry soil. Large, round clusters of pink flowers smell of Narcissus, especially at night. Flat, red-edged leaves lie on the ground like a starfish. Plant the bulb mostly buried with the neck above the soil.

Pairs well with Coppertone stonecrop, African daisy, and White sage.
