Sparaxis, Harlequin Flower |
Harlequin Flower is a corm (similar to bulb) that is planted in fall for a spring spectacular of orange, red, white and purple flowers with a dark center. It tolerates full sun but needs afternoon shade in warm, inland valleys. It needs regular watering during the growing season and less when it's dormant. Plant in masses for a color border or entry.
