Massonia longipes

Massonia longipes

Family: Hyacinthaceae

Common names: Coastal Hedgehog Lily

It is very similar to Massonia pustulata but the flowers have a distinct pink coloration on the nectar guides.

Sowing instructions: Seeds are sown 3-4 mm below the soil surface in mid-autumn in the same medium recommended for mature bulbs. Take care not to sow too thickly to prevent the occurrence of damping-off fungi, and water the seedlings with a fine spray every few days. Germination of fresh seeds occurs within two to three weeks.
