Strong roots, timeless beauty

Autumn

Cycads are living fossils with thick, sturdy trunks and lush evergreen leaves. These slow-growing wonders can live for centuries, adding a timeless elegance to any garden. With male and female plants, cycads are often mistaken for palms or ferns, but they’re a unique species all their own. Autumn is the ideal time to establish these resilient beauties.

Cool and tough

Winter

Aloes are not just known for their healing properties but also for their ability to thrive in dry, cold conditions. With over 560 species, including the well-known Aloe vera and Aloe ferox, these succulents are hardy, low-maintenance, and perfect for the cooler months. Their striking, fleshy leaves store water, making them perfect for Lephalale’s winter.

Bursting into bloom

Spring

Clivias bring a splash of color to your garden just as the weather begins to warm up. These beautiful, evergreen perennials are native to southern Africa and are known for their clusters of vibrant bell-shaped flowers in shades of yellow, orange, and red. Spring is the perfect time to plant these showstoppers and watch them thrive.

They can handle the heat

Summer

Succulents are built for survival, thriving in hot, dry conditions where other plants struggle. These thick, fleshy plants retain water in their leaves and stems, making them the perfect choice for Lephalale’s sweltering summer months. Whether you’re looking to create a water-wise garden or add low-maintenance greenery to your home, succulents are summer’s best friend.
