Geissorhiza is an attractive and hardy genus of plants belonging to the family Iridaceae. It consists of about 60 species and is native to southern and tropical Africa. The genus name is derived from the Greek word ‘geissos’ meaning ‘earth’ and ‘rhiza’ meaning ‘root’, referring to the plant’s thick, fleshy root system.
Geissorhiza species are perennials with single-stemmed, leafless flowering stems. The leaves are basal, strap-shaped and have a grass-like appearance. The flowers are star-shaped and can be found in a variety of colors, such as yellow, white, pink, or violet. These plants are also known for their attractive seed heads, which are often referred to as ‘hats’.
Geissorhiza species are easy to grow and require minimal maintenance. They are drought-tolerant and can be grown in full sun to part shade. They can also be planted in containers or as groundcover in garden beds.
Geissorhiza species are an ideal choice for a garden. They add color and texture to the landscape and attract butterflies and bees. They also make excellent cut flowers for bouquets.
Geissorhiza species are also a great choice for a wildflower meadow. They are easy to establish and spread quickly. Once established, they are drought-tolerant and will happily reseed themselves year after year.
