- Also known as Harlequin Flower, this exotic-looking plant produces funnel-shaped flowers, each with a contrasting black and yellow centre. These eye-catching blooms emerge above sword-shaped foliage from midsummer through to early autumn and are held on sturdy stems which are ideal for cutting. Plant Sparaxis 'Red Reflex' in groups for the most dramatic display in rock gardens, greenhouses or sheltered borders where winter protection can be provided.
- Feed harlequin flower bulbs monthly and water moderately while they are in active growth. After flowering, reduce watering and allow the soil to dry out in order to provide the bulbs with a dry, dormant period. Sparaxis bulbs that are grown outdoors should be mulched with chipped bark to protect them from cold wet weather over winter. Move patio containers to a frost free position over winter.
