Cultivation:
Bulbine frutescens is a member of the lily family. It
requires a sunny location but tolerates light shade. It will adapt
to most well drained soils with a preference towards sandy soil
types. Orange Bulbine dislikes having wet feet for long periods as
it is a fairly drought tolerant annual. Hybrid Bulbine is very sensitive to cold temperatures so
its best to set out well after danger of frost has passed. A good
choice for rock gardens.
It is said that the sap of Bulbine has
similar characteristics to Aloe Vera for treating burns.
