Bulbine frutescens 'Yellow'
stalked bulbine
Bulbine frutescens 'Yellow' is a low-growing, drought-tolerant succulent with clumps of fleshy, linear leaves and bright yellow, star-shaped flowers, formed on long racemes above the foliage, that bloom from June to August.
This rhizomatous perennial forms neat clumps about 30-45cm (12-18in) tall and wide, making stalked bulbine ideal for rock gardens, borders, and containers. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, it's easy to maintain and attracts pollinators. Additionally, its leaf sap is traditionally used for minor skin irritations.
