Albuca nelsoni is evergreen with the growing season in spring, summer and autumn, flowering in late spring. Full sun, frost free conditions, well drained soil. They clump well and some forms are very fine foliage plants. Bulbs will grow out of the the soil. Massive, they need large containers or the ground.
