Drimia is a genus of flowering plants. In the APG III classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae formerly the family Hyacinthaceae. The genus includes Urginea. They are bulbous plants that are deciduous or rarely evergreen. The bulbs often flower when no leaves are present. Drimia filifolia is an attractive plant, flowering in spring up to early summer and is an asset to any garden. This article will provide some insight into this obscure, yet highly decorative plant. Drimia filifolia is a bulbous geophyte somewhat similar to D. exuviata, but is smaller, with a height of up to 300 mm, as opposed to D. exuviata, which grows up to 1 m tall. D. filifolia also differs in that it lacks the conspicuous collar found in D. exuviata. Furthermore, Drimia filifolia also produces fewer leaves. They are approximately 1 mm in diameter and are present at flowering, drying out during the summer months. It produces sweetly fragrant white flowers with brown keels, forming a cluster on a slender, brown inflorescence. Flowers are followed by brown, oval-shaped capsules containing flattened, round seeds, becoming black when mature.
