This South African native has bold, strap-like leaves in clumps 2-3" wide in the fall and winter. It's dormant in late spring and summer, and in August, clusters of trumpet-shaped rosy/pink flowers blossom on top of bare stalks that are 3' high. It is long lived and drought tolerant.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
