Babiana Mixed Baboon Flower Bulbs

Babiana Mixed delights gardeners with a blend of colorful baboon flowers that bloom for 3 to 5 weeks in summer. Rising 6 to 12 inches tall on dark green foliage stems, these clusters of 2-inch, funnel-shaped blossoms come in a mix of blue, magenta, pink, purple, red, and white—no two packs are the same. Adding to their charm is a refreshing lemony fragrance, making these blooms an excellent choice for kitchen table bouquets or accents in mixed floral arrangements.

This mix features Babiana species, or baboon flowers, which thrive as hardy perennials in Zones 8-10. For maximum visual impact, plant groups of 10 to 15 bulbs—ideally 15 per square foot—in garden beds, borders, or decorative containers. Their compact growth and vibrant colors make them a standout addition to any garden.

Babiana Mixed is remarkably easy to grow. These flowers prefer sunny to partially sunny locations and well-draining loamy or sandy soils. Plant bulbs 4 inches apart and 4 inches deep with the pointed side facing upward. In warmer southern climates, allow the plants to go dormant after the leaves turn brown post-flowering, withholding water for two months before resuming irrigation to prepare for the next growing cycle.
