Drimiopsis maculata is an evergreen geophyte found on forest floors and shaded stream banks in eastern southern Africa. Leaves are deeply lobed on slender banded petioles, with dark green spots and wavy margins. Flowers are in a small compact inflorescence. The buds are white and the flowers grey green. This plant flowers between September and April. Grow the bulbs in a well drained, but organic rich medium and keep it moist during the summer growing season. It does fine with year-round watering. The species is winter deciduous and can take light frost, but not a hard freeze. Plant in light shade to part sun. Freckles on leaves will be more colorful in summer.
Very happy plant! So happy with my order as a whole.

Drimiopsis Maculata
The potted plants were severely dried out but I think they have finally hydrated. I've had this plant before but lost it to freezing weather. I'll be more mindful of these. They are not readily available at local nurseries here. Thanks for offering them for sale!
