Albuca nelsonii

A native of Natal in South Africa, this plant was first collected by the British nurseryman William Nelson. It has fleshy succulent leaves gowing to 3' tall.  The ivory tubular flowers with a green rib are produced on a tall spike at 4' -5' tall in June / July. They have a strong almond scent.

Planting instructions

Not very frost hardy due to its tendency to grow half in anf half out of the ground and its near evergreen habit.  Plant 2" deep in good compost. It grows well in a cool green house protected from all but slight frost either in the ground or in large tubs. They do get very pot bound.
