Ledebouria zebrina (Giant False Scilla)

Sun to Part SunZone: 7b-9, at least 12" tall Origin: S. Africa

Open House/Web-Only! From South Africa's Northern Province region of Limpopo comes the amazing giant ledebouria. Actually, it's not that amazing that it comes from there, but it is amazing that a plant from this region has proven reliably hardy for us since 2003. Looking more like a tropical houseplant, Ledebouria zebrina makes a 1' tall x 1' wide deciduous clump of large, fleshy, light green leaves, often highlighted on the back by small purple specks. The clumps are adorned in mid-May with pendent bottle brush-like spikes emerging from the leaf axils...very cute! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
