A semi-cold-tolerant bulbous plant of the lily family (APG classification: Asparagaceae). The leaves are long and fleshy. Numerous tubular flowers grow in spikes or racemes on flower stalks 20-30 cm tall. Native to South Africa, there are more than 90 species of the original species alone. The flowering season is wide, from December to April, and the flowers come in a variety of colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, purple, and brown. L. mutabilis Lodd produces purple flowers that open upwards. L. aloides hort. ex Asch et Graebn. ( L. tricolor Jacq. f.) is dwarf, with flowers that are green, yellow, and orange. A variety called var. aurea is a tall variety that produces large orange-yellow flowers. Propagation is by bulb division, leaf cuttings, and seedlings. In mid- to late September, 3-5 bulbs are planted in a No. 4 pot and grown under a frame or on an indoor windowsill. When the leaves turn yellow in late summer, dry out the pot and store until autumn.
