Like other members of the genus, it produces a single pair of leaves that press perfectly flat against the ground when given adequate light. This dwarf species produces leaves covered in small protuberances, giving them a rough, spiky appearance and earning the plant its common name, the Nieuwoudtville Hedgehog Lily. In midwinter, plants produce a small head of white, jasmine-scented flowers in the center of the two leaves, held just above the ground so that the rock rats and pygmy mice of Namaqualand pollinate them as they scurry across the quartz sand at night.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Plant Catalog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51597532004632,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/1175\/9896\/files\/massoniatenella.png?v=1769985639"},{"product_id":"ledebouria-socialis-var-variegata","title":"Ledebouria socialis var. variegata","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a variegated form of the popular Ledebouria socialis, a small evergreen bulb from South Africa’s summer-rainfall region. While also well known, this more colorful form is less common despite also being easy to propagate. We find it arguably more attractive too, with thick bands of white pigmentation that stress pink in bright light. Like the regular form, plants are capable of flowering young and send up an elongated inflorescence, naturally colored in bright tones of pink and white that perfectly match the variegation. In bloom, the balance of colors complements the dainty figure of this miniature bulb so elegantly that the complete presentation almost feels like the product of a florist’s imagination. Newcomers attracted to the conventional beauty of this cultivar are often relieved to learn it also bears little challenge in cultivation, making a fine entry into cultivating drought-tolerant plants. If acclimated, this species can handle intense sun, but also doesn’t mind growing in the shade. The evergreen foliage is very forgiving of seasonal changes and underwatering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Plant Catalog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52136550859032,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/1175\/9896\/files\/ledebouriasocialisvariegated.png?v=1780531384"}],"url":"https:\/\/rareplantcatalog.com\/collections\/family-hyacinthaceae.oembed","provider":"Rare Plant Catalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
