Ledebouria cooperi
Liliaceae
Bruce Peters, San Francisco

This is a small bulbous perennial from South Africa. The Ledebourias are also found in India and Madagascar. This species does well in a sunny, well-drained location. Unlike some other species in this genus, this plant is completely dormant during the winter months. When planting, keep the ‘neck’ of the bulb exposed above the soil.
