Ledebouria zebrina is a bulbous perennial that can reach heights up to 0.3m. The bulb is about 100-120mm in diameter and the foliage of about 4-6 leaves are about 300-500x90-120mm, a dull green colour and sometimes have purplish longitudinal stripes or blotches on them. The leaves when torn form threads and the inflorescence of about 150-200x30-40mm large carries 4-7 flowers of a light green colour during summer between August and January.
Ledebouria zebrina is a smallish garden plant ideal for a mixed border in the shade or raised garden beds and makes for a lovely feature in pots or containers on a patio.
