Homeria collina flowers
in the early to mid-Spring in our part of Southern California with creamy
yellow, apricot or pink flowers. The Cape Tulip grows has numerous
branches and tends to flop without support. I have had great success
planting Homeria collina under evergreen perennials such as Erigeron
karvinsianus to get extra support. Homeria collina grows up to 2
feet tall and blooms in full sun to light shade. The Cape
Tulip will not persist in a wet garden and requires reasonable drainage or
periods of drying between irrigation cycles. Homeria collina is
Winter hardy into zone 9
