Anomateka - Anomateka

Japanese: アノマテカ - あのまてか
Anomateka - Anomateka

A semi-cold-hardy bulbous plant of the Iridaceae family (APG classification: Iridaceae) that is planted in autumn. It is also called Anomateca purpurea. Native to South Africa. Anomatheca is an old genus name, and is now part of the Freesia genus. Sword-shaped leaves appear in autumn. Around May, flower stalks grow to about 20 cm and produce several crimson flowers about 1 cm in diameter. Variants also have white flowers. The plant has a delicate appearance and is suitable for potted plants. Around October, five bulbs are planted in a No. 4 pot, and grown inside a frame or in a sunny room. Use soil that has good drainage. In July, when the leaves have withered, dig up the bulbs, dry them, and store them. Reproduction is by bulb division or seedlings.
