Ledebouria species - This is a bulb that produces racemes of small flowers which are usually purple, gray or green. The prime interest of this plant is actually the foliage , being striped or spotted with purple. This plant grows to only 2-4 inches tall and multiplies into clumps. It prefers very little water in summer but tolerates occasional irrigation and natural rainfall in winter. It takes light shade to full coastal sun and temperatures down to around 25° F.
This information about Ledebouria pauciflora displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
