Exciting news for all of our customers!!!

We have managed to get our hands on some VERY limited stock of the brand new Agapanthus Pink Blush and they have just arrived!

Developed by award-winning breeders Andy De Wet and Quinton Bean, this evergreen plant has a compact, neat growth habit, making it ideal for borders, containers and coastal conditions.

Key Features & Care:
Appearance: Delicate, pink-tinged flowers in clusters on strong, sturdy stems, contrasted with lush green foliage.
Hardiness: Evergreen and hardy, though slightly more delicate than traditional varieties, benefiting from nutrient-rich, well-draining soil.
Light/Water: Thrives in full sun to light semi-shade; it becomes water-wise and drought-tolerant once established.
Maintenance: Remove spent blooms for extended flowering; divide clumps occasionally to keep them healthy.

Plants are available in 17cm pots.
Now is the perfect time to get them planted and their roots settled in time for flowering in early Summer.

If you are a Cyclamen fan, then we have a treat for you! Limited stock just arrived at both Nurseries.

Cyclamen Illusia is an award-winning, breakthrough Cyclamen persicum variety developed by Dutch breeder Schoneveld Breeding. It revolutionizes the plant's traditional look by featuring upward-facing, double-petaled pink blooms with a distinctive "bearded" eye, giving the impression that the flowers are looking right at you.

Why it Stands Out

Unique Flower Orientation: Unlike normal cyclamen where petals face downwards, Illusia’s petals face completely upwards to reveal frilly, "cherry-blossom" style details inside.

Profuse Blooming: It produces an extremely dense coverage of flowers that can blanket the entire pot, accompanied by marbled green foliage.

Longevity: Known for its excellent shelf life, this variety provides continuous flowers for months—spanning autumn through late winter.

Award-Winner: It has taken the horticultural world by storm, winning major titles including Best Flowering Houseplant at the UK's HTA National Plant Show and Plant of the Year in Japan.

Care Instructions
Illusia is easy to care for but thrives best under specific cool conditions:

Temperature: Prefers cool, bright indoor environments away from direct sunlight and central heating. Aim for 10°C to 18°C (50°F to 65°F).

Watering: Keep the soil reliably moist but not soggy. Water from the bottom or around the edges of the pot to prevent the crown of the plant from rotting.

Placement: Perfect for a bright porch, a spare room, or an indoor space with plenty of ambient, indirect light.

Foxgloves (Digitalis) prefer cool climatic conditions and to be cultivated successfully they require rich, loamy soils (slightly acidic soil is also preferred so you can plant them with acid compost) and cool root zones. They will grow in semi-shade to sun, but in regions where it gets hot very early in summer, its best to plant them in a cool position. They also do well in sheltered coastal gardens.

Great for cut flowers, these perennial, first-year flowering plants are productive, blooming for months if harvested regularly.
Harvest when a third of the flowers on the flower spike have opened.
Expected vase life is 8 days. Regular harvesting will encourage flower production.
They also self seed so you can look forward to many beautiful flowers in the years to come.
Limited, mixed colour stock available at both Nurseries for R 85 per plant.
