Tritonia crocata Seeds

Common Name: Kalkoentjie

Tritonia crocata is a striking, late spring and early summer-flowering plant with fiery orange or reddish orange flower sprays and a fan of short, lance-shaped leaves.

It is free-flowering, makes an ideal container and rock garden subject, and multiplies rapidly.

Tritonia crocata is a deciduous, winter-growing geophyte (a plant with a subterranean storage organ) up to 350 mm high.

It has a flattened corm surrounded by a few layers of fibrous outer tunics and multiplies by cormlets produced around its base.

It produces a fan of short, lance-shaped leaves in autumn and a spike of numerous bright fiery orange or reddish orange, almost regular, cup-shaped flowers in late spring and early summer (September to November).
