Brunsvigia josephinae, commonly called Josephine's lily, Candelabra lily, is a deciduous, subtropical species of Brunsvigia originating from South Africa.[1] It is marked by deep pink to red leaves which are about 12 to 15 inches long. It flourishes in medium humidity, at temperatures between 50 and 75°F (10 to 24°C).[2] It shoots up from bulbs in March and April, and the leaves develop later. These bulbs can take 12 years to settle before they flower, but they flower annually once established.[3]

B. josephinae is about 0.65 m tall when flowering. Its bulbs are some 200 mm in diameter and usually exposed. Leaves appear only in winter; they are blueish grey and typically range from 8-20 leaves per plant. Dark red, tubular flowers appear in late summer to autumn; they are 15 mm long atop stalks approximately 650 mm long, with 30-40 flowers per plant. Plants may take as long as 14 years to mature from seeds.

The lily was named for Joséphine de Beauharnais, Napolean's empress.[3]
