10 Dipcadi serotinum Seeds - Indigenous South African Native Perennial Bulb Seeds from Africa

Dipcadi serotinum Seeds

Dipcadi is a genus of perennial bulbous flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae (also treated as the family Hyacinthaceae). It is widely distributed, occurring in southern Europe, most of Africa and the Middle East through to the Indian subcontinent. Species of Dipcadi grow from small bulbs. The solitary flower stem (scape) bears a loose raceme of green or brown flowers, sometimes with different colours at the tips of the three inner tepals. The raceme is usually one-sided. The tepals are joined at the base for up to two thirds of their length to form a tube. The ends of the tepals then curve outwards, particularly the outer three. The outer three tepals may have a rounded "spur" at their tips. The stamens, which are enclosed within the flower, are joined to the tube formed by the tepals and have flat filaments.

Dipcadi serotinum has a very small flower that appears at odd times in summer. The colors are all very "subtle," dull green and peach-tan. Dipcadi serotinum is small in size and 30 cm in height and in the spring it assumes an orange colouring. Dipcadi serotinum should be grown in a bright place, with direct sunlight.
