Pink Watsonia, Bugle Lily, Cape Bugle Lily, Watsonia pyramidata
Watsonia borbonica (Pink Watsonia) is a cormous perennial with upright fans of sword-shaped leaves and bright pink flowers. Blooming in late spring to early summer, eye-catching wands of fragrant rose-pink trumpet-shaped flowers, each about 2 in. long (5 cm), rise atop erect stems. The foliage dies back after bloom, reappearing in the fall. A lovely garden subject that needs little care. Spectacular in mass plantings in borders or grown in large containers.
