How to identify Bushy bulbine (Bulbine abyssinica)
Bushy bulbine is an evergreen, clumping succulent creating a rosette of narrow, grass-like leaves, each reaching 1 foot (30 cm) long. The leaves are medium green, upright, then curving at the tips. In spring to summer, bushy bulbine bears tall flower spikes ranging from 18 to 24 inches (45 to 60 cm) in height. These spikes showcase bright yellow, star-shaped flowers with bearded stamens. Flowers bloom from the bottom up, succeeded by dark, small fruit. Bushy bulbine is adapted to full sun to light shade environments and requires well-drained soil. It demonstrates a degree of drought tolerance once established.
