Native to South America, the graceful, flowering bulbine was relatively unknown in the U.S. until recently. Bulbine flowers make a colorful accent for flower beds, herb gardens or a mixed container with star-shaped blooms in yellow or orange. Growing bulbine is an excellent choice for gardens and landscapes as they are drought tolerant. In fact, these flowers are often found in rock gardens with poor soil just for this reason. They can also bloom throughout the year. The sap of the succulent leaves is used medicinally in the same way as gel of the aloe vera plant, leading to the common name of burn jelly plant.
Bulbine care is minimal and growing it is amazingly simple. It requires very little effort and neglect doesn’t prevent the plant from blooming. When growing bulbine, locate it in a sunny to lightly shaded area. Once established, the plant is drought tolerant, though it benefits from supplemental water during times of drought. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers.
