Vegetative characteristics

Scadoxus cinnabarinus is a perennial herbaceous plant . This geophyte forms large onions as persistent organs. In its natural habitat it is largely evergreen; in culture , the plants are allowed to move into the bulbs. The foliage leaves are rosette-like on a pseudostem, so slightly above the onion. The leaves are narrow and taper like a stalk at the bottom.

Generative characteristics

On a relatively short, leafless inflorescence stem there is a hemispherical, umbellate inflorescence with a few bracts that surround the flowers. The stalked, hermaphrodite, threefold flowers are orange in color. There are berries formed.
