Haemanthus coccineus also known as the Scarlet Shaving Brush Plant, is an unusual and rare woodland bulb prized for its striking scarlet-red flower heads that resemble a shaving brush. 

The flowers emerge in early spring, typically before the foliage, in February or March offering a bold splash of colour in the garden.

Preferring partial shade and well-drained soil, this hardy yet delicate plant should be protected from heavy frost to ensure its longevity. Perfect for shaded garden beds or woodland areas, Haemanthus coccineus adds both intrigue and seasonal beauty.
