Veltheimia Bracteata Seed Head | Veltheimia | Hyacinthaceae

Learn all about the Veltheimia bracteata seed head, a unique and fascinating feature of this beautiful deciduous bulb. Native to South Africa, the plant produces a dense raceme of reddish-pink flowers that are clustered into a dense head. Once the flowers have bloomed and faded, the seed head develops, which is a cluster of papery, ripe capsules that detach from the plant in wind gusts. The seed head adds to the beauty of the plant and can be harvested to propagate new plants. With proper care, the Veltheimia bracteata plant will thrive and bloom year after year.
