About Albuca spiralis L.f.

Albuca spiralis L.f. has narrow, curved leaves that grow into a spiral shape. The leaf tips are sometimes covered in glandular hairs, but unlike the leaves of the similar species Albuca viscosa, the leaves of this plant are not sticky. It produces nodding green flowers that have pale yellow margins. The flowers carry a sweet scent, with an aroma similar to vanilla.
