Planting



Most South Africans plant too early for Spring and many bulbs benefit from late planting due to the drop in ground temperatures. Keep your planting to the important focal points, and containers, for best effects and ease of maintenance.  

SOME SUGGESTIONS ARE . . .

Anemone, ranunculus, tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, sparaxis, nemesias, calendulas, Iceland poppies, petunias (in frost free areas) and pansies.

In the shade (with two to three hours of sunshine) plant primulas, cinerarias, treated daffodils, hyacinths and tulips as well as begonias and foxgloves.
