  • 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.

    • Light Required Sunny, sheltered position

    Watering Water during active growth

    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.
