Plants grow to be {{convert|12|–|18|in|cm}} in height.[3] DescriptionVeltheimia bracteata is a bulbous plant with glossy leaves. The flower stems arise from a rosette of basal leaves and blossom in an inflorescence arrangement which is typically surrounded by dense spikes. Plants are pollinated by birds.[3] A fleshy seed is then produced at the end of August.[4]DistributionVeltheimia bracteata is native to the south-eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa.[5]CultivationV. bracteata is generally planted in early fall and is in full bloom till spring time.
