Watsonia is a genus in the iridaceae of over 50 species from both the winter and summer rainfall areas of Southern Africa. Many are quite tall with fans of sword-shaped leaves and showy flowers.
There are 56 accepted species in southern Africa, with two varieties and about 112 names either unresolved or regarded as synonyms. All are perennial herbs growing from corms and producing erect spikes of showy flowers. Most are fynbos plants, adapted to a Mediterranean-type climate, but some occur in the eastern and inland areas of the country and have adapted to a wider range of conditions.
.Watsonia vanderspuyiae is robust with bright red tubular flowers. It attracts sunbirds and is an ideal candidate for large fynbos gardens, parks, office block landscapes and traffic islands, and is deserving of a more prominent place in ornamental horticulture.
