9500 Calostemma purpureum   ---- Each: $15.00                                     Amaryllidaceae
Umbels of deep purple flowers, 20 or more to a stem, each flower having a central
cup similar to a Narcissus. The blooms appear in late summer before the leaves,
which remain in growth throughout the winter. C. purpureum needs a dry summer rest,
and does well in containers. There are only a few bulbous plants native to Australia -
this one is outstanding! Eastern Australia. Large mature bulbs.   Zone 8-10.
