What Are Sparaxis Bulbs?

Sparaxis Bulbs originate from South Africa and have become a favourite in New Zealand homes for their vivid flower displays. These hardy bulbs produce clusters of star-shaped, multi-coloured flowers that can brighten up any corner of your outdoor space. Their slender, grassy foliage remains elegant even after flowering, adding subtle texture to garden beds.

Sparaxis Bulbs are well-suited to the New Zealand climate and require little fuss. Planting them in autumn ensures a dazzling carpet of colour by spring. Once established, these bulbs will reward you year after year with their dependable blooms.

How to Grow and Use Sparaxis Bulbs

Sparaxis Bulbs thrive best in well-draining soil and a sunny spot. Plant the bulbs roughly 6-8cm deep and space them about 8cm apart. Water them during dry periods but avoid waterlogging, as this can cause bulbs to rot. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally to nourish next season's blooms.

These bulbs make eye-catching features in mixed borders, rock gardens, and containers. For a dynamic mix of hues in a single planting, consider Sparaxis Mixed, which offers a cheerful blend of colours in one pack.

It’s easy to fall for Ficus benjamina and Corokia 'Geenty's Green', but Metrosideros carminea, Magnolia Cameo, and Rosmarinus 'Blue Lagoon' offer a different kind of delight.
