Hypoxis hemerocallidea (syn. H. rooperii; ex: Ellen Hornig) - From flame-shaped furry buds emerge large, pretty six-petaled deep golden yellow starry flowers in open clusters atop fibrous summer stems. These rise in early to midsummer above thick leaves. The arrangement of foliage mimics the well-known daylily (Hemerocallis). Leaves are long, thick, fibrous, fleshy and pleated at a distinct central longitudinal vein, the gestalt of their arrangement is architectural. Still quite rare in the U.S. Hypoxis are relatively easy and has been robust for us even in a container. Hypoxis hemerocallidea is found in varying cultural situations with one fundamental link: decent drainage. Plenty of moisture in summer is relished given they are planted in a well-drained mix. Good winter drainage is essential. Give them plenty of sun. Hypoxis can draw honeybees. Other common names include Star-grass, Star Lily, Yellow Stars and Yellow Star-grass. Established pot grown division from tubers.
