Orange Stalked Bulbine holds clear orange stars on slim bare stalks above a low fan of narrow, almost succulent green leaves. This live 4-inch Bulbine frutescens blooms from spring into autumn — a long run of color for very little work.

It spreads into a loose clumping mat, which makes it a genuinely useful ground cover for the hot, dry, fast-draining places most plants sulk in: gravel gardens, parking strips, the front edge of a sunny border, a terracotta pot. Bees and butterflies work the flowers all season, deer and rabbits generally pass it by, and wet soil is about the only way to disappoint it. Snap off spent stalks to keep it going.

Fun fact: look into the center of one flower and you will find fuzzy yellow-bearded stamens — the giveaway that this South African native sits in the aloe family rather than among the lilies.

It ships established and rooted, with healthy arrival guaranteed.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!

Please contact us, send a picture, and detail any damage, so that we can continue to improve our shipping process and make sure you receive the healthy plants you paid for.
