A super hybrid out of the UK from crossing the two related genera, Hypoxis and Rhodohypoxis. These genera occur in South Africa and are small bulbous members of the Iris family. While just a few inches tall, these are showy beyond the implied limits of their size and can cover themselves for weeks in large red flowers. Easy to grow and a fast increaser, this will become a favorite. Cold climates can be overwintered inside where cool.

A less-common Fairy Wandflower we grew from seed from the late Rod and Rachel Saunders of South Africa. This is a smaller species to 3' and later flowering than most species with its small pink-purple flowers occurring in July and early August. It is useful as weaning species for the hummingbirds so they don't have to go cold turkey when the others are finished.

An indispensable Port Townsend plant. This rugged South African is sun, wind and drought tolerant and absolutely hardy here. One of the most admired plants in our border for its profuse display of large yellow to orange daisies on low stems. Good drainage.

This is one coming out of the garden of Matt Mattus and has garnered the name 'Matt's White'. This may be a name functioning more as a placeholder for origin than a proper clonal name. It is a good doer and basically obscures the foliage when in flower so be forewarned if you like leaves with your flowers.

A name given to this with assuredly the kindest of intentions. This selection of the former Schizostylis has sumptiously provocative buxom pink flowers which if you like that sort of thing - and we do - will be just the ticket for your garden. Feed her some nice meals, give her plenty to drink and let her lounge in a warm, sunny spot and she will be happy.

Unlike the common folk of Tulbaghias this "society garlic" got the white-tie message and is rather the more fetching for it. Blushing pink buds opening to pure white or pale-pink flowers making for a picturesque plant I'd be happy to ask for a dance at the next gala, if only it wasn't for that impolite garlicky smell....well beggars for hardy South African bulbs can't be choosers I guess.

The enigmatic iconoclast Pete Ray of Puget Garden Resources, brought this perky selection back from the UK. Smaller than most varieties both in height and flower size, this has that cheeky something that the others would give their right anther for. Flowers are a perfect bicolored symmetry of red and yellow on stems to 2 feet or so.

Chunky seed-grown plants from the fair and white-flowered 'Guinevere'. We presume that some at least will resemble the desirable parent (Guinevere 2.0?) while the rest will explore floral realms yet unknown. A 1 in 36 roll of the Fairy Wandflower dice that could come up boxcars, or at worst, a solid garden performer.

Resurrection Lily. Incredibly tough South African species in everyone's favorite family, the Velloziaceae. Slow-growing tussocks of grassy leaves and showy bright mauve flowers. This is the subject of much research for crop drought tolerance as this can totally dry out (to 5% water) for months and then revive in days with rain. Hardiness is not personally known to us although our source for this said zone 6 but we have the skepticism of years. Fire tolerant, one South African key refers to the blackened lower stems from persistent fires. These are divisions from our one clone we have had for years. Ideal rock garden candidate - good drainage.

This is a compact Angel's Fishing Rod but it is a lunker in flower power. This makes a dense evergreen grassy clump which has lots of flower stems bearing pendulous fared pink bells in mid summer. We have this out in our sunny border and it has been great. Very floriferous and gently self-sowing plus it is deer resistant.

An intriguing Iris relative from higher elevations in South Africa which has narrow vertical foliage and dark yellow very Iris-like flowers. This has proven to be nicely hardy for us here and may well be hardy to Zone 6 especially with mulch. This provides that important vertical element in your design scheme.

Caterpillar Grass. This is a cool evergreen grass (semi-evergreen in our winters) from South Africa. The low grassy 15" mounds of leaves won't turn your head but the flowers will. Wiry stems bear seedheads looking like a Caterpillar on a stick with an amazing window where the yellow anthers dangle like little feet in motion. Seriously. It's serious fun.

This is a lovely thing we received from Ellen Hornig at the late Seneca Hills Nursery in New York where she was able to grow this thanks to deep lake-effect snow cover. Looking perfectly intermediate between Dierama and Crocosmia, this is the perfect choice if you are wanting a soft pink Crocosmia but can't find one.

We love this selection of Agapanthus which grows wild near Graskop, South Africa and is a grand departure from the rounded aerial starbursts usually associated with Agapanthus. Still fireworks but with falling streamers of inky violet-black long pendulous florets which speak to us at a limbic level. Mulch in winter. Deciduous.

This chance hybrid society garlic creates it's own perfect color pairing, no paint swatches necessary. The bright yellow central corolla of the flower plays ever so nicely with the classic pinkish purple outer tepals reminiscent of T. violacea. While we can't confirm its ability to grow in interplanetary conditions, or it's popularity with Carl Sagan its bright pop of color contrast, and impressive hardiness to about 23°F are worthy of at least one orbit of the mind.

Choice and rare (key elements for us!) succulent from the Steenkampsberg in Mpumalanga in South Africa where it grows a in gritty humus among granitic outcrops and experiences occasional snowfall. Good drainage is going to be key in winter rain areas and a nice gravel mulch is going to help a lot.

Easy and hardy little bulbous plant from South Africa and a good pink in this selection. This makes dense tuffets of grassy foliage in spring and summer and covers itself in May/June with pink flowers. Increases well but never a problem making an easy to divide clump when dormant.

Choice species making narrow thin clumps of evergreen grassy foliage and long wiry stems with many small pendant dark pink-purple bell-shaped flowers. A plant of open grassland in South Africa, this likes a sunny position in a soil that drains but retains moisture.

A compact little guy carrying very nice white flowers which benefit from extra petals giving it a little more floral punch. If you can manage extra petals and no one complains, then why not? We all need an edge. Mulch in winter and decent drainage and feel free to plant it in a very sunny hot spot.

One of the truly elegant cultivars and one that will be the toast of the garden. This is one of 5 surviving C. xcrocosmoides bred by Max Leichtlin of Baden-Baden Germany before 1895 that is still in cultivation. A true heirloom cultivar. Tall stems with fingers of flowers held out like a ladies hand extended to be kissed. Refined orange tepals nicely spaced reflects its obvious confident sense of self and of place which speaks to its heritage of Teutonic thoroughness and simmering superiority.
