Candelabra lily (Brunsvigia undulata) is a bulb for containers, houseplant collections, and sunrooms. 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. Deep red flowers open in large umbels of 35 to 80 blooms. Plant the large bulb with its neck above the soil.
Pairs well with Lemon grass, Taro, and Papyrus.
