Description
Babiana noctiflora (Iridaceae) It has pleated, lanceolate, softly hair leaves reaching to the middle of the spike. Flowers are bilaterally symmetrical, creamy yellow with lower lateral tepals deep yellow and violet scented. Sowing: Seeds are sown in autumn, in deep pots, seed trays or raised seed beds, in the same medium recommended for adult corms. The seeds should be sown thinly to prevent overcrowding and the development of damping-off fungi, and kept moist by regular watering using a watering can fitted with a fine rose cap. Seedlings should remain undisturbed for two years. Locality: Malmesbury. Harvest: November 2020
