Triangle Palm | Neodypsis Decaryi

Regular price R 169.95
/
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Neodypsis decaryi, commonly called the Triangle Palm, is a rare and eye-catching palm from Madagascar. Its name comes from the unique triangular arrangement of its leaf bases, giving the trunk a striking geometric look. With graceful, arching fronds and a sculptural form, it makes a bold statement in Cape Town gardens, whether planted as a specimen tree or in large containers.

Bring instant drama and elegance to your garden with the Triangle Palm, a rare and sculptural palm from Madagascar. Its name comes from the unique triangular arrangement of leaf bases, which creates three vertical planes around the trunk. A natural geometric design that looks like living architecture.

In Cape Town’s Mediterranean climate, the Triangle Palm thrives in full sun and well‑drained soil, rewarding you with lush, evergreen fronds that arch gracefully year‑round. Flowering occurs in summer to autumn (December-April), producing clusters of small yellow blooms followed by decorative black fruits. Its bold form makes it perfect as a focal point in modern landscapes, poolside plantings, or coastal gardens, where it tolerates wind and salt spray with ease.

This palm is not just a plant. It's a statement piece that transforms any outdoor space into a tropical retreat.

Why you’ll love it

  • Architectural beauty: Distinct triangular trunk sets it apart from other palms
  • Exotic flair: Adds a tropical, sculptural presence to any garden
  • Container friendly: Grows well in large pots for patios and courtyards
  • Resilient: Handles Cape Town’s coastal conditions and summer heat
  • Low maintenance: Requires minimal care once established

Planting & care

Plant in full sun with well-draining soil to encourage strong growth and healthy fronds. Water regularly while young, then reduce frequency as the palm becomes more drought-tolerant. A slow-release fertilizer in spring supports lush foliage, and occasional trimming of old fronds keeps it tidy. Protect from severe frost, though it tolerates Cape Town’s mild winters well. With space to grow, it develops into a striking specimen that draws attention year-round.

Did you know?

The Triangle Palm is so named because its leaf bases spiral around the trunk in three distinct vertical rows, forming a triangular shape. A natural design feature that makes it one of the most unusual palms in cultivation.

Van Balen's Aloe | Aloe Vanbalenii

Regular price R 89.95
/
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Aloe vanbalenii – Van Balen’s Aloe. This graceful aloe unfurls long, strap-like leaves that curve outward, often turning copper-red in Cape Town’s summer sun. It produces clusters of tubular orange-red flowers from late winter into early spring (August–October), attracting sunbirds and pollinators. Perfect for rockeries, focal points, and water-wise landscapes, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. A sculptural aloe that brings movement and colour to your garden.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Elegant, arching leaves with seasonal colour shifts
  • Striking flower spikes that attract birds and bees
  • Indigenous to South Africa, perfectly adapted to local conditions
  • Adds sculptural drama to modern and traditional gardens
  • Hardy, low-maintenance, and drought-tolerant

Plant & Care

Plant in sandy, well-drained soil in a sunny position. Water sparingly, especially during Cape Town’s rainy winters, as aloes dislike soggy roots. Remove spent flower stalks to encourage fresh growth. Apply a light compost dressing in spring to boost flowering. Protect young plants from frost, though Cape Town’s mild winters are generally suitable.

Did You Know?

The leaves of Aloe vanbalenii can shift from green to copper-red depending on sun exposure and seasonal stress, making it one of the most visually dynamic aloes in South African gardens.

Variegata Chinese Juniper | Juniperus Chinensis Variegata

Regular price R 98.95
/
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This evergreen conifer is a true living sculpture, admired for its dense, upright habit and foliage splashed with creamy‑white variegation. Unlike flowering shrubs, its beauty lies in its year‑round foliage display, which shifts subtly with the seasons, brighter in spring flushes, deeper green in summer, and crisp variegation through autumn and winter. In Cape Town’s Mediterranean climate, it thrives in full sun with well‑drained soil, making it a reliable choice for water‑wise gardens. It is most often used for hedges, screening, and topiary, but also shines as a specimen plant where its variegation can be fully appreciated. Planting is best done in autumn (March-May) or spring (September-November), when mild conditions encourage strong root establishment. Because it is evergreen, Juniperus chinensis ‘Variegata’ offers continuous structure and colour, anchoring garden designs through all seasons. Its resilience, architectural form, and subtle variegation make it a favourite among collectors and landscape designers.

What You’ll Love About It

  • Elegant variegated foliage with creamy‑white highlights.
  • Upright, dense growth habit for structure and form.
  • Evergreen presence for year‑round interest.
  • Hardy, drought‑tolerant, and low‑maintenance.
  • Versatile: specimen plant, border accent, or formal topiary.

Plant & Care

Plant in full sun in well‑drained soil during autumn or spring. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce as the plant becomes drought‑tolerant. Feed lightly in spring to encourage healthy growth. Prune or shape as desired, though the natural form is already highly ornamental. Protect from excessive shade, as variegation is most pronounced in bright light.

Did You Know?

Juniperus chinensis has been cultivated in Asia for centuries, often used in temple gardens and bonsai for its resilient nature and architectural beauty. The variegated form, ‘Variegata’, is especially prized for its unusual foliage colouring, which adds brightness and contrast to plantings. Its adaptability and longevity make it a favourite among collectors and landscape designers.

Thriving in Cape Town’s Mediterranean climate from spring through autumn (September-April), it grows vigorously in pots or garden beds, ensuring a steady harvest for adventurous cooks.

The Wild Banana,also known as 'Giant White Bird of Paradise, is an attention-grabbing evergreen that effortlessly brings a lush tropical ambiance to your garden. Notably, while its appearance is captivating, its aggressive root system requires mindful placement away from paths and structures. The Wild Banana produces spectacular,large blue and white flowers throughout the year,but their peak flowering season start in Spring and Summer.    Additionally,Strelitzia Reginae is a versatile choice as it can thrive both outdoors and as an indoor plant. Indigenous and well-suited for coastal environments, the Wild Banana offers a touch of paradise to any garden.

IMPORTANT: Our Strelitzias are grown outdoors, where wind, sun, and other natural elements can cause the leaves to tear or develop slight browning on the edges. This is completely normal and part of the plant’s natural growth pattern. Even in your own home garden, your Strelitzia will go through the same process over the years. Growers also trim older leaves to encourage strong, upright growth, so receiving a plant with cut stems is not a sign of poor quality. It’s simply part of healthy maintenance, development, and the natural characteristics of the plant.

Wild Garlic (Tulbaghia violacea) is a hardy and versatile perennial, loved for its clumps of slender, grey-green leaves and clusters of starry lilac-purple flowers. Native to South Africa, it thrives effortlessly in Cape Town’s Western Cape climate, bringing colour, resilience, and a touch of fragrance to gardens. Its long flowering season and ability to withstand drought make it a favourite for low-maintenance beds, borders, and containers.

Flowering from spring right through to late autumn, Wild Garlic ensures months of cheerful blooms, often continuing into early winter in mild conditions. Beyond its ornamental beauty, the leaves carry a mild garlic scent when crushed, adding both sensory interest and practical pest-repelling qualities to the garden.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Long flowering season: spring to late autumn in Cape Town 
  • Hardy, drought-tolerant perennial suited to local conditions 
  • Clusters of lilac-purple starry flowers attract pollinators 
  • Leaves release a gentle garlic scent when crushed 
  • Perfect for borders, rockeries, and containers
  • Easy-care and resilient, ideal for water-wise gardens 
  • Indigenous to South Africa, naturally adapted to our climate

Planting & Care:

Plant your Wild Garlic in full sun to light shade, in well-drained soil enriched with compost. Water moderately, reducing frequency once established, as it tolerates dry spells well. Feed lightly in spring to encourage lush growth and abundant flowers. Remove spent flower stalks to prolong blooming and keep plants tidy. In Cape Town’s mild winters, it remains evergreen, providing year-round foliage interest.

Wild Garlic is not just ornamental. It's leaves and flowers are edible and can be used sparingly to add a mild garlic flavour to salads, soups, or garnishes. A true indigenous plant that delights both the eye and the palate!
