Xeronema

Xeronema is notable for its striking sword-shaped leaves and brilliant red or orange flower clusters, which emerge from a compact, basal rosette. These features help it thrive in its native rocky and nutrient-poor environments, aiding in water retention and maximizing pollinator attraction. Its robust form contrasts sharply with its typically harsh growing conditions.
