Little Sparaxis plant care is necessary with these flowers.
In wet summer gardens, the corms are best lifted and stored but in well-drained areas, they can be left in the ground.
Some species of the genus are not cold hardy.
So if you live in colder regions, dig up the corms and store them before the first frost.
The corms multiply rapidly if well watered throughout the growing season.
Seeds can be sown in autumn and will flower the second spring or the offsets can be divided during dormancy and replanted.
