Spring, Glorious Spring!

Yes! It's arbour month - and here is the Tree tag we've been talking about. Remember that there is also a special tag for Portulacarias. Grow your tree sales this month while everyone's talking trees!



 

 Scabiosa in Pink and Blue are lovely. Celebrate spring with these lovely, 'country gaden' plants - there are plenty of flowers and buds to follow.

Scabiosa columbaria 'Blutterfly Pink Mist' 15cm  R15.30 

Windmill-petalled, 'Spider' Osteospermums always fascinate. Remember to keep well watered on the shop-floor or after planting. They will become drought tolerant once their roots have established in natural soil. If lower leaves tend to turn yellow, increase your watering frequency to obtain maximum shelf-life!

Creeping Gazania rigens are a garden and landscape standby. Ideal for coastal situations, they will grow right on the sea front. Elsewhere, they can be relied on for their tolerance of a variety of soils and their drought hardiness. Here we have a very unusual colour:

Tecoma capensis *Pink Blush 4kg  R12.80

Lemon yellow flowers on tall, glossy leafed shrub. Exelent as a hedge or interplanted with plumbago.

Spiloxene aquatica available in 15cm @  R14.05 and 25cm @ R27.80

We are thrilled with this lovely little evergreen bulbous plant! The gorgeous flowers float like white stars above the tuft of dark green, chive-like leaves. It thrives with its feet in water, making it an ideal pond-side feature plant, especially for those little water features that can make a shady garden so alluring.

Everybody loves Everlastings or 'Sewejaartjies'. Syncarpha argenteus has pink buds, but the flowers are white when open. The plant has silver foliage and a mound-forming growth habit that makes it an attractive addition to mixed borders or rockery plantings.
