Ledebouria cooperi

When folks come to the nursery seeking plants for the garden, one of the most common requests is for flowers, and the showier, the better. Zebra's Quill, aka Cooper's False Squill, certainly has charming pink, fragrant flowers in the spring, but the leaves are just as worthy of attention. Dark purple stripes run the length of the deep green, strap-like leaves, giving it a very tailored, clean look. This perennial bulb's need for well-draining soil makes it a perfect candidate for container living, and its foliage and flowers provide visual interest on its own or combined with other plants. A native of South Africa, Zebra's Quill needs at least 6 hours of sun to look its best.
