Haemanthus albiflos (Paintbrush) Bulbs

The Haemanthus albiflos is also known as the 'shaving brush plant'.

Haemanthus like to be planted in a well drained soil and are best left undisturbed in their pots for several years. Usually evergreen but can shed all their leaves if they become dry. The leaves appear in pairs and are semi-erect. The stout stems support the pure white brush-like flower heads followed by bright red berries..

Haemanthus albiflos thrives in moist, well-draining soil and prefers full sun to partial shade. It is a resilient plant that can flourish in various soil types and easily forms clumps. However, it is not tolerant of freezing temperatures.
