Giant candelabra flower is a large bulbous geophyte from South Africa that produces a tall spray of pink flowers on a leafless stalk, with leaves appearing after flowering. The key to growing it is a dry dormant rest after leaves die back and a well-drained soil with a bulb planted near the surface.
Brunsvigia grandiflora, commonly known as the giant candelabra flower, is a geophyte belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family. The species is endemic to KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Eastern Cape and the Free State.
