Massonia pseudoechinata

Family: Hyacinthaceae

Common names: Tillite Hedgehog Lily

It has slightly pustulate leaves and strongly enrolled tepals.

Sowing instructions: The seeds should be sown in autumn. Use 10 cm deep seed trays or pots and a well-drained, sterile sowing medium. Sow seeds thinly to prevent overcrowding and damping off. Cover with a thin layer of clean sand. Keep moist, but not wet, and place in a warm position. The young bulbs prefer a sunny position and very little moisture. Plant them in a potting mix that is sandy to loamy and very well-drained.
