Scadoxus multiflorus ssp multiflorus is a  hardy, deciduous, bulb that has large blade-shaped wavy margined leaves. The stem and the scape are often covered with reddish brown to dark violet spots. It bears magnificent, large heads of orangey-red flowers early in spring. They are followed by very decorative, red berries that are relished by birds.

An excellent garden and container plant. Plant in well-drained soil in semi-shade and do not overwater.
