Tritonia crocata 'Pink'
Tritonia 'Pink'
Tritonia is a flowering bulb similar to Ixia, and native to South Africa. The leaves are fan-shaped, and the flowers are fragrant - particularly at night. Tritonia crocata is a very striking, winter-growing species of Tritonia, producing spikes of freesia-like flowers in late Spring and early Summer, earlier in warmer climates. 'Pink' has pink flowers that are not fragrant - good for people with allergies related to the smell of flowers

Flowering
From Early Spring TO Early Summer
Tritonia bear their fragrant, goblet shaped, or starry flowers in Spring or early Summer
Propagating by offsets
From Mid Autumn TO Late Autumn
When the bulbs are dormant, they can be lifted and the off-sets removed. The off-sets can be re-planted as new plants
Planting

The bulbs should be planted in free-draining soil in in a south or south-west facing sheltered and sunny site. Protect from frost by mulching
