Bulbine capitata

Bulbine capitata is a perennial succulent with fleshy, linear leaves that form a basal rosette. Its distinctive feature is the tall, dense, flower spikes that emerge in summer, capped with yellow, star-shaped flowers. Adapting to dry climates, bulbine capitata stores water in its leaves, making it drought-resistant. This characteristic, along with its bright blooms, makes it a hardy choice for arid garden landscapes.
