“Rhodohypoxis ‘Fairytale’ is a charming perennial that adds a magical touch to British gardens with its delicate blooms and compact growth habit. Growing to a height of 10-15cm, it forms dense clumps of grass-like foliage adorned with star-shaped flowers in shades of pink or white, creating a carpet-like effect in borders, rockeries, or containers.

Best planted in full sun or partial shade and well-drained, slightly acidic soil, ‘Fairytale’ thrives in various garden settings and blooms profusely from late spring to early summer. Its flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.

Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, this Rhodohypoxis requires minimal pruning, mainly to remove faded flowers and tidy up the plant after blooming. Feeding with a balanced fertilizer in early spring supports healthy growth and enhances flowering.

Rhodohypoxis ‘Fairytale’ not only enhances garden aesthetics with its vibrant blooms and lush foliage but also plays a crucial role in supporting local bee populations by providing essential nectar. Its resilience and ecological benefits make it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens across the UK, contributing to pollination efforts and enhancing biodiversity.”
