Ledebouria Socialis Scilla leopard lily is a small evergreen perennial bulbs. Grows in thick clusters that survive drought as effectively as any succulent.
This species is a geophytic species of bulbous perennial plant native to the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.
When I bought this ledebouria socialis scilla leopard lily a few years ago it was stated to be a succulent like in nature.
Ledebouria socialis Scilla Leopard Lily
The leopard lily is drought tolerant. Grows offsets on the side of the parent plant. Is a ideal houseplant. Propagation is very easy to achieve.
I have this plant in my south facing window. It is said that they can handle a few hours of direct sun a day.. It is doing quite well in this location in my home.
Planting your leopard lily just right at soil levels helps them to not rot.
Make sure you keep at a medium moisture but allow to dry out between watering.

Grows to 6 inches tall, like a sun to part sun area. Can tolerate neglect.
Easy to grow indoor houseplant and is a unusual plant to most people that say they have never seen this plant.
They like to rest in the winter months, during their resting time they still look great and seem to thrive under weekly watering.
Watch the video as I will be transplanting this unusual plant .

Very cool. I’ve had this growing in a little pot for almost 10 years now and had no idea what it was. Found a clump of them growing under a shrub on the side of a friend’s house, presumably someone had just dumped the plant and it took root. I stuck a few in a pot and they’ve gone with me from California to Oregon to Pennsylvania. Really cool little plants. I’m glad to know they have such a cool name as well: Leopard Lily.
Thanks for the blog, I’m glad to have found it.
you said you may be able to let me order the leopard lily plant in may,will you please let me know, thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been trying to find out the name of this plant for 18 years. Even smug Master Gardeners have been stumped! I have sold them off at plant sales and had to admit I didn’t know the name. Mine must somehow be the miniature size because all very compact and healthy mine always grow up to only three inches high. Thanks again!
Finally I know what this is! Thank you! I got a piece of Leopard Lily with two other succulents in a pot and when I replanted them the L.L. just went crazy! I have at least a hundred little bulbs now and I had to replants it twice and tear sections of bulbs off to transplant those! I’ve been looking for what this plant is for almost a year and finally found a site for it. Thank you.
