This is one of South Africa's most dramatic bulbous plants. It bears showy pale red brush-like dense flowers heads with bright yellow anthers, followed by bright red berries. The flower stalk may grow up to 20" in height. Plant with the neck even with, or slightly above, the soil surface in composted soil with good drainage in a cool, shady location. Leave it undisturbed for years for the best flowering. Give regular water in summer, drier when winter dormant. USDA zones 9 - 12
