Babiana Stricta Mixed
M6061
Description
Each upright spire of Babiana ‘Stricta Mixed’ carries up to ten, trumpet-shaped blooms for a highly floriferous display, even in a compact space.
A charming assortment of pale purples, these flowers are often likened to Freesias. Native to South Africa, Babiana are commonly known as ‘baboon flowers’ because baboons are known to eat the corms – not such a problem here in the UK!
Their petite stature makes them ideally suited to containers, rockeries, and border edges in sheltered locations. Babiana ‘Stricta’ has earned itself an RHS Award of Garden Merit for outstanding vigour and performance.
