Massonia saniensis is a dwarf species with cute, grey-green, pustulated leaves and white flowers.

Description:
Massonia is a genus of peculiar, southern African, alien-like bulbs related to hyacinths that grow two opposite prostrate leaves that hug the ground topped with a stemless cluster of green, white or pink flowers that sit atop the leaves or rise on strange stalks. It's a perfect group for succulent lovers and those who love oddball things! M. saniensis is a recently discovered species that hails from the Sani Pass, the spectacular mountain pass that connects South Africa and Lesotho, among the steepest in the world. It is a dwarf species with cute, grey-green, pustulated leaves that can be prostrate or slightly raised above the ground. The white flowers have yellow anthers. It is a summer-growing species. Reduce watering when dormant in winter but do not allow to go bone dry. Plant the bulbs with the top just below the soil surface. This is a borderline hardy to non-hardy bulb best grown as a houseplant or in a heated greenhouse or sunroom. It's perfect for those interested in bulbs and houseplants and for succulent lovers looking to branch out. Our nursery-grown bulbs are adult blooming size.
