Haemanthus  Alba Floss  also known as White Paintbrush, Shaving Brush Plant  and Cape Tulip is native to South Africa.

A bulbous plant to 1 foot tall , fleshy , wide evergreen leaves with cillate (fuzzy) margins. The white   1 ¼ inches to 2 ¾ inch flowers  appear in the fall. When the petals or bracts open , the visual effect is like a wine goblet hence the name Cape Tulip. The petals or bracts of the Haemanthus Alba Floss encase hundreds of stamen.  Each white stamen has a golden pollen sack at it tip. Massed together the stamen resembles a soft brush which gives rise to another of their common names White Paintbrush Lily or Shaving Brush Plant.

The Haemanthus Alba Floss is a tender plant, closely related to the Amaryllis, grow it in a pot in the greenhouse , as a house plant;  in mild climates move to the patio for bloom in the late fall. Plant the bulb in an 8 or 10 inch container in a rich potting mix.  Set the bulb with the base at soil level, water sparingly, keep in 70 degrees F temperature until established , and Move out of doors when weather warms, it must be in the shade .  Water thoroughly and infrequently, feed with a complete fertilizer. They bloom best when pot bound (overcrowded).

We are offering a large well established  bulb that will be 1 1/2 to 2 inch in diameter.

We are open to the public by appointment only, please call us at (805) 969-9178 so we can explore dates and times for our get together. Weekdays between 2 pm and 6:30pm are best . GPS guidance will get you to our mailbox which is located approx. ¾ mi. from the Ranch on a single lane mountain road. We are not easy to find and generally discourage visitors who just want to look, I do this for several reasons , some of which are to limit the traffic on the private one lane road so my neighbors are not inconvenienced, not fill up our very limited parking spaces, and minimize the interruptions on our operations so I am able to have more time to spend with family.
