Something a bit special for this weekend. I have a limited amount of Veltheimia capensis. This rare bulb thrives in dry shade and the pink poker-like flowers appear in spring.
I have grown these from seed and the plants are nearly 2 years old and ready to go to their new garden.
$8 each. Comment below or send me a message to order one. Pick up Cowwarr or Heyfield.

Something a bit special for today. These are Myoga ginger, or Japanese Ginger plants. The plants produce an edible flower bud, which has the flavour of ginger/green onion.

They are used in Japanese cuisine - thinly sliced as a garnish on soba noodles or as tempura. You can also use the young shoots as a garnish.
The plants need shade and good soil. They will multiply quickly and are happy in a big pot. In winter the plants will go completely dormant.

$10 each and I only have 6 so be quick!

I have 3 pots left of this beautiful blue salvia. $8 each.

It’s been flowering in my garden for a few weeks now and will continue to do so over summer.
It’s really hardy. I have planted it with yellow achillea and the colour combo is just lovely.

One of my favourite things about gardening is seed saving. Earlier this year I saved some Cosmos Pink and C. sulphureus seeds. Today I have sown them ready for another gorgeous flowering season.
