    Haemanthus barekerae (c) copyright 2008 by Shields Gardens Ltd. All rights reserved. This species is native to the Bokkeveld mountains from near Nieuwoudtville in the west to Calvinia in the east, and Loeriesfontein in the north to the Tanqua Karoo in the south. These plants have leaves that are more elliptical, broader than the linear leaves of the form in the north of the range. We offer offsets of our strain JES #368, which is particularly vigorous and fast growing, even forming offsets. Pink to rose flowers in a small umbel. In leaf ca. September - April in the Northern Hemisphere, and blooming ca. Sept.-Oct. We grow this in our standard bulb mix, which is quite gritty. Best to ship in June and July.
