Ledebouria maxima is an extremely rare species, native to the sub-tropical part of KwaZulu-Natal (S. Africa). This slow-growing lily-like succulent forms fairly large bulbs that protrude halfway above the ground and slowly divide as it ages. The inflorescence is most similar to that of blue grapes, except that the flower colour is creamy green. They propagate by division and grow best in a well-drained clayey soil mixture.
