Rhodohypoxis baurii (Rose Grass)

Botanical name: Rhodohypoxis baurii

Common name: Rose Grass

Family: Hypoxidaceae

Origin: South Africa

Perennial flowering plant.

Alpines and Rock Gardens.

Somewhat finicky, they demand full sun, mild temperatures, and porous, peaty, lime-free soil kept moist in summer, nearly dry in winter. Will not tolerate extreme heat or cold, or wet winters. Where conditions are not ideal, grow in pots that can be moved as needed.
