BULBINELLA robusta. S. Africa. A vigorous perennial somewhat resembling Kniphofia and, like it, clumping from the base to form small thickets. In fall it sends forth fountains of narrow, bright green 2' leaves. Above these in early spring are carried torches of glowing yellow, bell shaped blossoms on 2-3' stems. It dies to the ground in summer. Sun, most soils, winter moisture/summer drought preferred. Hardy to 15^oF or less.
