Romulea amoena Seeds

South African Indigenous Perennial Bulb

Romulea is a genus in the Iridaceae family of about 90 species that is found both in South Africa and in Europe. Rootstock is a corm, globose, bell shaped to top shaped, compressed or asymmetric with a circular to crescent shaped basal ridge. This genus has flowers reminiscent of Crocus. Many are quite striking, especially the South African species and there is a great variation in colour and markings of the flowers. They are easy to grow in pots and many are easy from seed, flowering rather quickly in some cases. Romulea amoena grows 8-12cm in height. During spring it bears beautiful large deep rose pink to red flowers with black blotches and stripes in a yellow or cream cup. It is naturally found growing in the Bokkeveld Mountains of the Northwest Cape.
