Description
Brunsvigia comptonii. (Price per 5 seeds) It is winter-growing and summer-dormant, generally flowering in early autumn. The plants are often gregarious with flowers that are brilliant scarlet, pink. Sowing : Sow seeds in deep seed trays as soon as possible after harvesting in a very well-drained, sandy medium to which some fine compost is added. Press lightly into the soil, so that the top of the seed remains visible. Water well once and then again only after the first leaves appear. After that, water well once every two to three weeks. When the leaves begin to yellow, withhold watering altogether. Judicious watering starts again when the leaves reappear after the dormant period. Locality: Matjiesfontein. Date harvested: February 2020
