Lachenalia mediana

Lachenalia mediana. Flowers are pale blue and white or pinkish blue, with green or purple markings and bell-shaped with short pedicels. Sowing: Seed is best sown in autumn in deep seed trays or pots in a sterilized medium of equal parts fine compost or loam, and river sand. Sow the seed thinly to prevent overcrowding and fungal infection, and to allow sufficient room for each seedling’s bulb to develop. Cover with a thin layer of sand, and keep moist and shaded. Germination should occur within five weeks. Locality: Paarl. Harvest: November 2023
