Family: Hyacinthaceae

Common names: Rûens Hedgehog Lily

it can be distinguished by having yellow anthers, six gibbosities (rounded hump or protuberance) in between the bases of the thick filaments closing the tube mouth, and tepals with a sigmoid curve. Flowers can fade to pink when they age.

Sowing instructions: 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.
