Romulea syringodeoflora Seeds - Rare Indigenous South African Endemic Perennial Bulb

Romulea syringodeoflora Seeds

Rare South African Endemic 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 syringodeoflora is a rare South African endemic species from the Northern Cape Province where it can be found in Succulent Karoo growing on stony shale flats and slopes on the Roggeveld Plateau. It grows from 12cm to 20cm tall with ribbed leaves. During late spring it bears showy magenta pink flowers.
