Cyrtanthus flammosus

Cyrtanthus flammosus is one of the newest discoveries of the genus in western Cape which looks quite similar to Cyrtanthus elatus from a quick glance. Cyrtanthus flammosus multiplies quickly by means of bulblets and seed production and grows well in half-shady location. At least half of the bulb of this species should be sitting above the growing medium. I grow my Cyrtanthus flammosus bulbs in pure sand.
