Transform your garden or windowsill into a sea of crimson with our Ifafa Lily Red Value Pack. Scientifically known as Cyrtanthus mackenii, the Ifafa Lily is a charming, fragrant, and surprisingly hardy bulbous plant native to South Africa. This pack of 10 allows you to create dense, professional-looking "mass clusters" that burst into bloom when the rainy season arrives.
Graceful Red Umbels: Each slender stalk produces a cluster (umbel) of narrow, tubular, trumpet-shaped flowers. In this variety, the blooms are a vibrant, deep red with delicate recurved tips.
Sweet Tropical Fragrance: The Ifafa Lily is famous for its sweet, honey-like scent. While one bloom is lovely, a cluster of 10 bulbs will fill your veranda or garden with an intoxicating perfume.
Evergreen Appeal: Unlike many bulbs that leave an empty spot in the garden, Ifafa Lilies feature attractive, glossy, strap-like green foliage that remains lush throughout most of the year in mild climates.
The "Rain" Trigger: These lilies are known to "wake up" and bloom in profusion following heavy rains, making them a delightful and dynamic addition to summer and monsoon gardens.

"The Ifafa Lily is most beautiful when grown in thick clumps. By planting 10 bulbs together, you achieve an instant 'wildflower meadow' look that single bulbs simply can't match."
Perfect for Containers: This pack of 10 is perfectly sized to fill two large 10-inch pots or one long rectangular planter for a stunning balcony display.
Beginner-Friendly: Extremely easy to cultivate and resilient against most common garden pests. They are "set-it-and-forget-it" bulbs that reward you year after year.
Long-Lasting Cut Flowers: The slender stems are sturdy and the flowers last up to 10 days in a vase, making them an excellent choice for home arrangements.
Planting Depth: Plant with the base of the bulb under the soil, but leave the neck (the top part) slightly exposed above the soil line.
Soil & Media: Use a well-draining mix of ordinary garden soil, sand, and compost. They love organic matter but hate "wet feet."
Sunlight: They perform best in bright, indirect light or morning sun with afternoon shade. In extremely hot climates, avoid the harsh midday sun.
Watering: Water regularly during the growing season (keep the soil evenly moist). Reduce watering in the winter or during their dormant resting phase.
Spacing: Plant bulbs about 4–6 inches apart to allow them room to form natural, thick clumps over time.
Our plants and mosses are hand selected at local growers with the utmost care and love. Here, they are grown in the most sustainable way possible. This way, the plants in your glass bottle are guaranteed to thrive together and you will enjoy your personal ecosystem with plants for many years to come.
We learn by doing. By creating your own terrarium with plants in a bottle yourself or with your children you learn about the various facets of the earth and thus the basis of our living existence in a creative way. Stone, potting soil, roots, plants, water and recycling all come together in this creative eye-catcher for your home.
• We work with MPS-certified plants and recycled glassware.
• Dimensions and colours of live plants may vary.
• It is also possible that, due to the season, a pictured plant is not in stock.
• In that case you will receive a beautiful alternative.
• It is recommended to open your ecosystem once a month for a few hours.
Avoid "wet feet" at all costs! To prevent your bulbs or rhizomes from rotting before they wake up, mix a handful of coarse sand or perlite into the bottom of your planting hole. This creates a "drainage pillow" that keeps water from pooling around the base during heavy rains.
