Description: Chasmanthe Aethiopica Also known as: Lesser Cobra Lily A beautiful herbaceous perennial from the iris family Iridaceae. The Cobra Lily grows in clumps of pale green leaves 40 – 60 cm tall, and will spread naturally once established, from cormlets around the base of the parent plant. Each flowering spike has a double row of deep orange tubular flowers that come out in late spring and early summer that curve outwards, leaning almost perpendicular to the stem. It produces well when it is not pruned or moved. This plant does particularly well in soils that have a good drainage system or clay type soils. They should be kept dry (as far as possible) during the winter dormant stage. This is a tender to half-hardly plant originating from the western cape in South Africa, needing temperatures greater than -5°C (not much below freezing). So best to grow in sunny or partially shaded pots or a place in the garden where they can be protected. For gardeners, its early flowering and ease of cultivation make it a very worthwhile plant.

For complete transparency we include payment processing & Ebay fees in our shipping/handling cost.*DISCLAIMER*NO RETURNS/REFUNDS/REPLACEMENTS ON SEEDSMost specialty seeds we offer are NOT fast to germinate.Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. These factors are totally out of The Plant Attraction's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or mistakes. Since 2006 we have been doing our best to hand sort and provide the freshest, cleanest harvest that is free of defects and bugs.
