| Botanical Name | Bulbine frutescens 'Orange' |
| Description | A powerhouse perennial for the Willis and Houston metro area, Orange Bulbine is loved for its ability to bloom almost year-round in our climate. It features succulent, tubular green leaves and tall flower stalks topped with dainty orange blossoms and fuzzy yellow centers. It is incredibly heat-tolerant and thrives in the toughest Texas conditions. To ensure success in local clay, it must be planted in a raised bed or well-drained sunny spot; while it loves the humidity, it will not tolerate "wet feet" during a rainy Southeast Texas winter. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Light Shade (Full sun produces the most consistent blooming) |
| Height x Width | 12-15 in. Tall x 18-24 in. Wide |
| Water | Low. Once established, it is very drought-tolerant. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent crown rot during heavy Houston rain events. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 (Reliable evergreen perennial in the Houston region) |
| Fertilization | Apply a light application of balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to fuel continuous blooming throughout the season. |
| Pruning | Remove spent flower stalks at the base to keep the plant tidy and encourage new flower spikes to emerge. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
