About the genus · Ledebouria
Ledebouria is a genus of African bulbous perennial herbs in the Asparagus family, Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae. Most members were previously part of the genus Scilla. A number of species are grown by cacti and succulent enthusiasts for their patterned leaves.
Text from Wikipedia, “Ledebouria”, CC BY-SA 4.0, quoted as written.
Also known as Scilla galpinii Baker.
Cultivation
Grouped as a bulb, tuber or caudex by the genus Ledebouria, which is reliably one kind of plant (archetype table). The table holds no figure for this group, which spans too much for one minimum, and no habitat climate is derived yet; no cold floor is given, and no prose comes from the table.
