Bulbine frutescens ‘Hallmark’ (Orange Stalked Bulbine)

Bulbine frutescens ‘Hallmark’ (Orange Stalked Bulbine)

Fall is here and it’s the perfect time to add bright pops of orange to the landscape. Bulbine frutescens ‘Hallmark’ is a fantastic companion plant to many other water wise perennials such as Lavandula, Stachys, Statice, Salvia and Euphorbia. ‘Hallmark’ is heat tolerant and fairly cold tolerant, (down to 20°F) and is a repeat bloomer from late spring through fall.

It has a graceful arching growth habit, with narrow-fleshy bright green leaves that are arranged in opposite rows, forming an open rosette. Tall, thin spikes are topped with clusters of apricot-orange flowers that have frilly yellow stamens, attracting Hummingbirds and Butterflies. The plants grow 18-24 inches tall and spread by rhizomes, creating clumps 2-5 feet wide. These plants are ideal for borders, rock gardens, perennial beds, and containers. Plant in full sun, in well-drained soil. The Sunset Climate Zones are 8, 9, 12-24.
