SCADOXUS MULTIFLORUS subsp.MULTIFLORUS
SCADOXUS MULTIFLORUS subsp.MULTIFLORUS
Football heads of vermilion-red highly-scented flowers Jul-Sep, just as the new foliage emerges, 55cm. winter dormant and accordingly hardier than subsp.katherinae. I keep mine in a pot where it regularly gets frosted - probably hardy in coastal sites.
