Ferraria

Ferraria crispa

An unusual bulb (well, corm actually) from South Africa. Flowers are wonderful yellow with striking crinkled brown edging. The spicy vanilla scent is unusual but not unpleasant. Flowers are borne on stems to 30cm among long slender foliage.  It’s a real sweetie pie preferring a coastal type of environment or very well drained lightweight soil. Can be reliably grown in a pot.
