Description
Strumaria salteri BULB (Amaryllidaceae). The flowering stems can reach 20cm. The flowers are a beautiful pink with a darker stripe in the centre. 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: Ex Hort
