Romulea macowanii 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 macowanii is a South African indigenous species from the Eastern Cape and Free State Provinces. It was previously known as Syringodea luteo-nigra. This summer growing and winter dormant plant grows from 20cm to 40cm tall with 3-6 grooved leaves. During spring this high altitude species bears golden-yellow flowers.
