Sparaxis (Harlequin Flower) is a genus in the family Iridaceae with about 13 species endemic to Cape Province, South Africa. All are perennials that grow during the wet winter season, flower in spring and survive underground as dormant corms over summer. Their conspicuous flowers have six tepals, which in most species are equal in size and shape. The genus name is derived from the Greek word sparasso, meaning “to tear”, and alludes to the shape of the floral bracts.

Growing to 30cm with large violet flowers in spring.

USDA Zone – 8

Season to Sow – Autumn
