Are you in search of a tidy compact edging in an area that has little sun daily?
Consider planting these Haemanthus Albiflos in your garden! Haemanthus Albiflos is native to the coast and mountains of South Africa. In habitat, these species show a preference for cool, shady spots.
Also known as paintbrush or elephant’s tongue, this evergreen produces a pair of fresh leaves annually. These leaves can get up to 40 cm or 16 inches long. The plant flowers better if the roots grow in a tight restricted space. These flowers emerge from late autumn to winter. What a treat for the winter time!
Haemanthus albiflos is hardy down to about 1 °C or 34 °F, but cannot survive prolonged freezing temperatures.
The best part is that this specie is forgiving of some neglect and under-watering!
