Albuca spiralis ‘Frizzle Sizzle’ is a unique plant, really appreciated in the world of gardening for its profound green, lanceolate, typically curled leaves. It’s a perennial bulbous plant: it grows in winter and goes dormant in summer. Bulbs are small, white-brownish, ovoid, and form a cluster of curled leaves: they tend to generate new individuals through division of bulbs. This plant is also really appreciated for its beautiful inflorescence, developing on a long stem, which overhangs the leaves. Flowers are green-lemon, banded with green,  6-7 centimeters big. Blossoming occurs in spring.

Albuca spiralis ‘Frizzle Sizzle’ can be used for a rocky garden. Being native from desert areas, it needs little watering, but regularly, in Autumn and Winter, beginning gradually in Autumn. In summer it goes dormant, being native from the other hemisphere, so water it seldom. It requires a sandy, well draining soil to produce its typical, beautiful inflorescence. It can resist short frost, so it can be adaptable to outdoor cultivation, but not in excessively rigid climates. Put it in bright spots, under direct sunlight. This plant doesn’t need repotting. You can fertilize the soil once a year, in spring.

The name spiralis is from the typical shape of its leaves
