Watsonia borbonica | Salmon Pink men The key is colour: intenseVery old fashioned and not often seen these days! Watsonia are so reminiscent of Grandmas Garden, lovely healthy strappy leaves and glorious pink blooms with 6 petals about 5cm across, not too unlike gladiolus, on tall spikes up to about 1. 4 metres tall. the corms naturalize over time and form large clumps, which are easily divided for giving away. This lovely salmon pink looks gorgeous when cut in a vase too. Blooms in late spring to early summer.
