This evergreen bulb from the Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa is closely related to the widespread Haemanthus albiflos and it is just as easy in cultivation. Haemanthus pauculifolius only bears one or two velvety leaves per bulb, which are longer and more revolute than in H.albiflos. It will enjoy being sparingly irrigated throughout the year and will need some shade, especially in summer.It was described in 1993, after some 20 years in cultivation..

This particular clone was originally collected in Paris Dam, RSA.
