Notes
Candelabra lily (Brunsvigia grandiflora) is a bulb for containers, houseplant collections, and dry gardens. 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. Round clusters of pink trumpet flowers open in late fall and early winter. Plant the bulb with the neck above the soil.
Pairs well with Night Silence dahlia, African daisy, and Arum.
