Bulbine frutescens ‘Avera Sunset Orange’

A vibrant, succulent perennial prized for its long-lasting, bright orange star-shaped flowers held on slender stems above clumps of fleshy, grass-like leaves. Flowering over a long season in warm conditions, it brings strong colour and a light, airy texture to sunny, well-drained planting schemes. The foliage forms a neat, drought-tolerant clump that copes well with heat and dry spells.
