Plant description:

A cormous plant with sword-like leaves. It bears graceful spikes of orange-red flowers in winter and spring. (C. floribunda var. duckittii has yellow flowers.) Chasmanthe is easy to cultivate and grows happily in both full sun and semi-shade. It is often planted alongside agapanthus, which flowers from mid- to late summer. As chasmanthe flowers from midwinter to early spring, the two plants complement each other, filling the gap when the other is underground.
