Geissorhiza aspera is a common sight in spring, a diminutive little plant with star-like flowers, which floods the veld with shades of blue when grown en masse.
Geissorhiza aspera is a cormous geophyte with sword-shaped leaves. This bulbous plant is 100-350 mm high and the stem is roughly scabrid. The leaves have a lightly thickened midrib and are 2-5 mm wide; the inflorescence is 3- to 7-flowered. Flower colour ranges from deep blue to violet and may have a darker centre; flowers are 11-15 mm long.
Geissorhiza aspera can be grown from seed: sow in autumn. Seeds are best sown in a mix of 3 parts river sand to 1 part fine, acid compost or finely milled pine bark. Keep the medium moist but not wet and treat with a fungicide if damping off occurs.
