Lachenalia blooms on single spikes or racemes atop a thick and usually mottled stem. Individual flowers have three basic forms: tubular, bell-shaped, and urn-shaped. A few species have a fragrance that is both powdery and sweet.
There is a wide assortment of colors and color combinations. Good for indoors too.
