Plant of the Day
Friday 23 March 2018

Solaria atropurpurea is a winter-growing, summer-dormant, perennial bulbous plant from an
area near Santiago, Chile, where it grows in free-draining, poor soils on rocky slopes, and in dry forests. The star-shaped flowers are produced in winter and early spring, and when mature can have an unpleasantly smell.
