We stock a great range of small bulbs, rhizomes and tubers with attractive spring and summer foliage with the added bonus of summer flowering.

Rhodohypoxis baurii

Another native of South Africa. This small plant arises from small reddish bulbs with strap-like leaves that are silver-gray with dark green splotches. A very attractive plant in containers and is easy to grow.

Ledebouria socialis need full sun to partial shade with a well-drained soil mix. We use a soil mix consisting of 1 part peat moss to 1 part loam to 2 parts sand or perlite. The plants are allowed to dry thoroughly in between waterings. Plants are fertilized on a monthly basis with a balanced fertilizer diluted to ½ the strength recommended on the label. They are very vigorous growers and should be repotted often.

Spotty

Grows well in a shallow dish. Rhodohypoxis baurii is in full bloom in June. A tuft of grassy leaves appears in May from each rhizome and is followed by a cluster of flowers that can give a colourful display for several weeks. keep dry in winter. Cyclamen hederifolium

A corm with attractive marbled leaves for most of the year and a fine display of pale to deep-pink, delicate blooms on slender stems in spring and autumn. Cyclamen is a woodland shade plant. The first blooms appear before the leaves start to come through. It quickly produces large colonies, useful for growing beneath trees. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it the Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
