Massonia tenella

Family: Hyacinthaceae

The leaves are lanceolate, thick in texture, suberect and bristly on the upper part of the face. Flowers are white.

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.
