Blood Lily at the corner



Native to South Africa, African blood lily (Scadoxus puniceus), also known as snake lily plant, is an exotic tropical perennial. This plant produces reddish-orange globes of pincushion-like blooms in late spring and early summer. The flashy, 10-inch blooms make the plant a real show stopper.

Benefits:

The bulbs of the Blood Lily contain toxins that can be harmful in large doses but are used together with the roots for a range of ailments including colds, asthma, leprosy and even as an antidote to poison
