Spring Madness

No more lovely sample van: but that's not going to stop us from showing the beautiful stock on offer. All the pictures are taken on the Friday before you see this, so they're fresh and represent the stock that is in the nursery   at the moment.

Just look how the flowers are opening!

Drosanthemum floribundum in 4kg bags @ R7.35.
You don't get anything much more colourful than that!

Delicious Diascias: Whisper Cranberry, Whisper pumpkin, Genta Pink (soft pink) and Wink Pink (bright pink). The two Pink ones were photographed in 20cm pots, but 15cm pots are also available.
15cm pots @ R13.00
20cm pots @ R20.35

We defy anyone to grow an Osteospermum better than we do! Marvelous, full plants just loaded with buds, so in the unlikely event that they stay on your shop floor that long, they'll be gorgeous for weeks.
This colour is 'Spider white-purple' @ R15.35.

Osteospermum Lavender Pink @ R15.35

Ostesopermum Ostica Lemon @ R15.35

Osteospermum Ostica Purple @ R15.35

And, in quick succession Osteospermums 'Pink Sand', Red Zebra (look at the stripes!) and Red-purple... and  guess what? There are even more colours than that! All @ R15.35

Did you know that Coleonemas belong to the Buchu family? The tea-tree like aroma of the leaves comes from the many oil glands on the leaves that are distinctive to that family.
Coleonema 'Sunset gold 15cm' @ R18.10
Coleonema album 15cm @ R16.90

There are still some of these fantastic 10kg Euryops pectinatus left. Just look at the buds! The plants are a good size, full and round, so its maximum impact all the way.
10kg bags @ R20.85

As predicted, Arctotis acaulis red are opening nicely. 4kg bags @ R7.60 - but if you think that looks nice, what about the following?

Our very special new hybrid Arctotis 'On Fire' PBR. Bouquets of blooms in 20cm pots @ R21.60

Tecoma capensis 'Rocky Horror' is another of our own 'finds'. Masses of buds. 25cm pots @ R40.20.

There are only a few of these gorgeous yellow Lampranthus in 20cm pots @ R17.45. The early bird catches the.. er.. well, we don't have worms on these do we?

On the subject of succulents: The 'string of beads' plant, Senecio rowleyanus is a great novelty! 15cm pots @ R12.35.

Soft blue Felicia 'Puntjie Blue' is an interesting natural hybrid. It has a cascading habit and is very low-maintenance in the garden, because the sterile seed heads are unobtrusive. 4kg bags @ R9.35

Fragrant purple and white Nemesias that actually have a reasonable shelf-life! 15cm pots @ R13.00

Unusual Senecio quinquelobus variegated in 4kg bags @ R10.95.

Pretty, cushion forming Pelargonium ionidiflorum ideal for a 'wildflower garden'. 15cm pots @ R13.00

Nursery-owner Mandy Fick challenged the trees team to grow lollipops, and they've risen to the challenge! 10kg Calpurnia aurea lollipops!

.... and just look at the magnificent Cussonia spicata! 20kg bags@ R75.60 (other sizes also looking great! See the 'top tree list' - link on the bulk mail -  for details)

Pavonia praemorsa: a shrub with a habit very similar to Anisodontea. 4kg bags@ R9.35

Silver!

Young Aloe ferox plants in 4kg bags. If they weren't so bitter, I'd EAT them! 4kg bags @ R17.85

Feathery Wilde als plants (Artemesia afra). Even my GP used to recommend a leaf or two steeped in boiling water to alleviate fevers and aid digestion -  and then its such a pretty plant, too! 4kg bags @ R9.35

On the subject of Silver: what about these Helichrysum crispum? 4kg bags @ R7.60

One can't even consider the subject of silver foliage without mentioning Melianthus major. The ultimate in interesting foliage! 4kg bags @ R10.95.

Whew! IT took just about all afternoon putting these together and there's still so much stock looking great out there! Remember that the 'cream of the Crop' and 'Top Trees' lists will give you all the goodies!

Till next time!
