Yet another venerable member of the legion of incredible South African bulbs. This one likes it arid and with as little frost as can be managed, but it isn't uncommon to see them in pot culture among xeric specialists, just bring them indoors when they are in their winter dormancy. Incredibly uniquely textured leaves ridged and bumpy like some kind of exotic lizard in muted tones of purple-brown. The flowers provide quite the contrast to the dour prehistoric foliage, happy little candelabras of candy-floss pink!
Knockoffs are there for you when you need that Gucci look but aint got that Gucci money. Similarly Remusatia is there for you when you want that Colocasia look but aint got that Colocasia climate. Any aroid we can experiment with growing in good-old fashioned earth outside is a win in our book and the elephant-ear leaves with variable purple undersides definitely bring that Tropical flavor even if they can't rival their tender relatives in size. You're mainly growing for foliage but the creamy white and yellow aroid flowers are a treat when they appear. Even given the tougher backstory those in less mild climates are likely still stuck with pot culture/winter digging but give them somewhere warm and they will run to form your own little jungle.
We're Veratruphiles, no doubt about that and this was a prized acquisition. A Japanese native which is a smaller counterpart to our own native Veratrums or False Hellebores. This is smaller getting to just 3' tall in flower with the flowering stalk draped in white and green flowers tripling the foliage height, claiming it's rightful place only when at its peak and otherwise demurely playing the role of high quality foliage texture.
Ruby Thrift. Great little tussock plant with low mounds of tight grassy ruby red foliage and stems bearing small pom-poms of deep pink flowers. A classic rockery or seashore plant. Tolerates drier conditions and thrives with average moisture in good drainage. Full sun.
Our long-ago (1997) collection of this widespread in nature but poorly represented in cultivation Rhododendron species. This has little to do with its appearance as the petite indumented evergreen leaves and delicate blushing white flowers create quite a handsome overall appearance on a manageably sized plant to boot. Their quickness to bloom and adaptability to various light regimes only add to its garden-worthiness. Unfortunately the hardiness leaves something to be desired, may be doable in a low zone 8 but 8b and up to be safe.
This hybrid offspring of Primulina 'Hisako' is notable for its silver lined foliage reminiscent of ghostly sidewalks on full moon nights. Large purple flowers and compact form round out the package.
