Barnardia numidica is a small bulbous geophyte from the Asparagus family, native to the western Mediterranean and North Africa, with a bulb that dies back in the dry season. Grow it like other Mediterranean bulbs: sharp drainage and a dry summer rest.
Barnardia numidica is a bulbous flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae (also treated as the family Hyacinthaceae). It is one of the two species of the genus Barnardia, although evidence suggests that B. numidica is not related to the other species B. japonica and should be transferred to a genus of its own.
