Ledebouria sp1 ‘marmorata »

The precise identity of this Ledebouria, offered under the provisional name "sp1 'marmorata'", could not be confirmed with certainty; the epithet likely refers to the marbled pattern of the foliage. The genus Ledebouria, comprising around sixty bulbous species from sub-Saharan Africa, is characterised by tunicated bulbs producing often variegated or purple-spotted leaves, and slender racemes of small, star-shaped, green, mauve or whitish flowers on a thin stem. Flowering generally occurs in spring or summer. These plants require a bright position, well-drained soil, and a dry rest period.
