Bulbine cepacea
Also called Bulbine Lily
Bulbine cepacea is a small South African geophyte with a flattened underground tuber and a rosette of soft, succulent, grass-like leaves that flowers in autumn. It needs a dry, sunny spot with very free-draining soil and a winter dormancy with little water.
Bulbine cepacea is a flowering plant in the genus Bulbine, endemic to the Western Cape province, South Africa.
Bulbine cepacea occurs in semi-dry Renosterveld vegetation, as far north as Clanwilliam, south to the Cape Peninsula, and as far east as Riversdale.
