  • The African Flag, known botanically as Chasmanthe floribunda "Duckittii," is a summer-blooming bulb that certainly knows how to stand out. Its tall, architectural stems and bright, canary-yellow flowers are the main attractions. The tubular blooms, arranged in bold, vertical lines, create a striking, exotic look, ideal for borders or containers.

  • Flowering from mid to late summer, it injects a burst of colour and height into the garden when many other plants are starting to fade. This South African perennial also boasts upright, sword-like green foliage, providing structure even before the flowers appear.

  • Chasmanthe 'Duckittii', with its eye-catching blooms, is actually quite simple to grow, assuming you give it what it wants. It's generally tough against pests, which makes it a great choice for those who want something a bit different without a lot of fuss. In case of harsh winters, you'll want to either dig up the bulbs or offer some protection, since they're not frost-resistant.

  • This plant, reaching heights of 1.2 to 1.5 meters, really stands out in sunny borders, Mediterranean-style gardens, or large patio pots, where its size and unusual flowers can be fully appreciated.

    Best Growing Conditions

    Plant Chasmanthe floribunda Duckittii bulbs in spring after the risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil, ideally sandy or gritty. Water during active growth, then reduce watering as the plant dies back. As this variety is frost-tender, lift and store bulbs in a cool, dry, frost-free place over winter, or grow in containers that can be moved indoors.
