Watsonia 'Apricot Queen' is an exquisite perennial bulb known for its striking spires of soft apricot-orange flowers. This variety of Watsonia, part of the iris family, blooms in late spring to early summer, adding a vibrant, yet delicate, splash of color to the garden. The flowers are arranged in tall, slender spikes that rise elegantly above the plant's sword-shaped, green foliage, making 'Apricot Queen' an excellent choice for adding height and texture to borders, cottage gardens, or as an eye-catching feature in a mixed bed. Its ability to attract pollinators like bees and hummingbirds further enhances its value in a biodiversity-friendly garden. Hardy and relatively easy to care for, 'Apricot Queen' thrives in sunny positions with well-drained soil and can also make a stunning cut flower for indoor arrangements.
