Ledebouria scilla

The entry "Ledebouria scilla" does not correspond to a precisely identifiable species; it is described here at the level of the genus Ledebouria (Asparagaceae), formerly largely included within the genus Scilla from which it was later separated. This African genus comprises around sixty bulbous species, often with mottled foliage, forming prolific clumps. The small, star-shaped flowers, pale green to purple, are borne in upright racemes. Grown in pots, in bright light, well-drained soil with moderate watering, and protected from frost in winter.
