puniceus

Scadoxus puniceus, also called the blood lily or paintbrush lily, is a distinctive species native to southern Africa. It produces a large, spherical flower cluster up to 20 cm across, featuring tubular blooms in vivid red or orange hues. Blooming typically takes place from late spring to early summer. This plant thrives best in a cool greenhouse or conservatory environment. Water should be applied sparingly until new growth emerges to ensure optimal development.
