A pink flowered species. The remarkable foliage has thin purple lines down the leaves.
Bought from Julian and Sarah Sutton at Desirable Plants in 2007 for £3.00. The label says:
Dwarf clump forming bulb. Pinstriped lvs, heads of purple fls like bunches of grapes. Sun, drainage, not too cold.
Ledebouria coooperi is found throughout South Africa and grows in wetland habitats. Flower colour varies from green to purple
and the leaves also show a range of patterns of purple spots and stripes. It divides very freely and plants in cultivation in the UK
seem to belong to a single clone or strain with parallel purple lines on the underside of the leaves and striking pink flowers.
