Notes
Candelabra lily (Brunsvigia namaquana) is a bulb for containers, houseplant collections, and succulent gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and dry soil. Its light pink flowers have touches of white and a yellow green throat, and they open in early to mid autumn. Plant the bulb mostly buried with the neck just above the soil.
Pairs well with Joshua tree, Coppertone stonecrop, and Sea lavender.
