Cyrtanthus brachycyphus

Cyrtanthus brachyscyphus

Family: Amaryllidaceae

Common name: Orange Ifafa Lily

An interesting orange/red colored species that does well in shady and damp areas. It is frost tender and will grow well in a pot. It needs water and fertilizer during the spring and summer months and the reward is bunches of long lasting orange flowers.

 Sowing instructions: Seed should be sown in spring or during summer, in a well-drained seedling mix, and need only be covered lightly with the sowing mix, clean coarse sand or milled bark to stop it from blowing away. The trays should be kept moist in a warm but shaded position.
