Eucrosia bicolor


Peruvian lily is grown for its evergreen leaves as well as its beautiful red flower.
It also divides very fast by bulbing. It needs dormant period in order to flower. To imitate dormant period
i'll stop watering it, wait until all the leaves turn brown and the plant died. Then wait for another for 2 months before resuming watering.Tthe flower stalk will appear first followed by green leaves.
