Biarum eximium

A Biarum of southern and south-eastern Türkiye, prized by bulb growers for its velvety, very dark spathe. Like the rest of the genus it is a summer-dormant tuberous geophyte from a climate of wet winters and very hot, dry summers. Grow it cool and bright in leaf and keep it completely dry in summer.
