Drimia capensis ("Maerman") is a species of geophytic flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae, indigenous to the south-western parts of South Africa.

The grey leaves are erect, rounded lanceolate and long (30–50 cm).

The flowers appear on a long, slender raceme, in November to March, after the leaves are already dry.

Drimia capensis grows across the southern Cape, South Africa.

It occurs from the Namaqualand in the west, southwards into the Overberg region, and eastwards as far as Port Elizabeth.
