Highlights
Bulbine frutescens (Stalked Bulbine) (Willd): A long leaved, lime green plant with fire orange and yellow flowers. This plant grows from a tuber which puts out the short stems, long leaves, and many offsets over the course of its lifetime. It is very similar to Aloe, but differs in the flowers. While Aloe flowers are tube shaped, the flowers of this plant are very open. It is native to southern Africa where it forms clumps of ground cover to 18.0" tall and wide.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need ample sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
