Romulea

Romulea – A Hidden Gem for the Spring Garden

Often overlooked yet utterly enchanting, Romulea offers a delicate charm that belies its resilience. These small, crocus-like blooms bring early spring colour in shades of soft lilac, violet, and occasionally golden yellow, each flower often etched with a deeper central stripe or eye. Native to the Mediterranean and parts of southern Africa, Romulea thrives in well-drained soils and sunny positions, making it an ideal choice for rock gardens, alpine beds, or the front of borders where its jewel-like flowers can be admired up close. Despite their dainty appearance, they are surprisingly hardy and return reliably year after year, multiplying gently to form elegant clusters. A true connoisseur’s bulb and a delightful addition for those seeking something just a little different.
