It is best grown in a pot, in a well-drained soil mix, and kept in a cool, bright spot.
Kumara haemanthifolia is a rare species of succulent plant, native to a few high, inaccessible mountain peaks in the Fynbos habitat of Western Cape, South Africa. It is a small bunched plant, related to aloes, with greyish-green, tongue-shaped leaves that grow in a fan shape, similar to its sister species Kumara plicatilis. It produces bright scarlet flowers at the end of winter. It is very hardy and can survive both frost and fire. It is very difficult to cultivate and usually dies if planted outside of its natural habitat.
