Stictocardia is a genus of herbaceous or woody climbers in the morning glory family, Convolvulaceae. The genus name Stictocardia means ‘dotted heart’ in reference to the dark glands at the lower leaf surface of the heart shaped leaves.  Stictocardia macalusoi commonly known as Scarlet African Morning Glory is a very rare indigenous perennial robust climber with dark purple to blue vines covered in large heart-shaped leaves.         It bears very showy large red trumpet shaped flowers with yellow centres all year round. This plant is well suited to pot culture as well as being used under trees where they are allowed to scramble up lower branches. Stictocardia macalusoi will easily cover any trellis, fence or lattice support in one season. Stictocardia macalusoi will bloom more profusely than its cousin Stictocardia beraviensis and is much more dramatic in its colour intensity and form. Stictocardia seeds need to be scarified before soaking overnight and sowing the next morning. Barely nick the hard outer seed coat with a file, sandpaper or nail clippers. Be very careful not to nick too deep so as to damage the embryo, the white part inside the seed. Seed germinates easily in a damp mixture of fine humus-rich soil with some sand. A glass sheet on top helps keep the soil moist but do allow some air to circulate. Newspaper on top of the glass will help germination by keeping the seeds dark. Use light soil rich in humus but with good drainage and add some super phosphate. Water the plant well at first and then moderately all year but especially in summer. Add compost at planting time and again 2 or 3 times per summer, as mulch. Give an occasional dressing of fertilizer for flowering plants (with ratio of N:P:K = 3:1:5) or a general fertilizer (ratio of 2:3:2).

Freesia laxa  Seeds Freesia is a genus of species of flowering plants in the family Iridaceae, native to Africa. Of the 14 species, 12 are native to Cape Province, South Africa, the remaining two to tropical Africa, one species extending north of the equator to Sudan. The genus was named in honor of Friedrich Heinrich Theodor Freese (), German physician. They are herbaceous plants which grow from a corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which sends up a tuft of narrow leaves cm long, and a sparsely branched stem cm tall bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped flowers. Freesia laxa is a South African indigenous species from the Eastern Cape, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and Mpumalanga Provinces. It is widespread across eastern South Africa from the Mpumalanga Escarpment to Port Elizabeth, and extending northwards through eastern tropical Africa. It grows to 45cm tall and is usually found in moist shady places. On offer is a pack of 5 Seeds We'll supply you with all the germination & care instructions.

Satyrium longicauda var longicauda Seeds   Satyrium is widespread in temperate and montane Africa, and two species are to be found in Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Burma). The genus comprises about 90 species of orchids, of which 37 are found in South Africa. With their small non-resupinate flowers (lip facing up) Satyrium species do not really look 'orchid-like'. The African species of the genus grow in fynbos, grassland and miombo woodland, and can sometimes be found in extensive and dense colonies of thousands of individuals, particularly in the year after a veld fire. Most species are pollinated by moths which are attracted by the evening-scented flowers, but pollination by carrion flies and bees also occurs in the genus. Carrion fly-pollinated Satyrium flowers emit an unpleasant carrion-like odour. Flies, apparently hoping to find a dead animal to lay their eggs in, are attracted by these flowers and pollinate them. An exciting find was the recent discovery that three South African Satyrium species are pollinated by sunbirds. Satyrium longicauda var longicauda commonly known as Blushing Bride Satyrium, Langsterttrewwa or Long-tailed Trewwa is a South African indigenous species from the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Western Cape Provinces where it can be found growing from Plettenberg Bay to tropical Africa. It is normally encountered in Albany Thicket, Fynbos and Savanna. It grows to 40 cm tall. This summer rainfall species has white or pink sweetly scented flowers during summer. The tuberous roots are edible and also used as love charms. Growing orchids from seed is a fairly specialized undertaking and it requires a bit of understanding of tissue culture techniques. If you have never grown orchids from seed we recommend that before attempting this you should first contact your local Orchid Society, or purchase a book on the subject, or both!

The genus Moraea belongs to the Iridaceae family and is a close relative of the genus Iris. It is accepted that it evolved independently from Iris itself, which is restricted to the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, it is strictly an African genus extending from Nigeria and southern Ethiopia, into the African highlands down to the southern tip of Africa where winter rainfall is predominant. Many are indigenous to South Africa. It is in the winter rainfall area where one finds the highest concentration of Moraea species. They have long narrow basal leaves, sometimes only one per corm and large yellow, pink, orange, or bicolor flowers with six fairly equal tepals. The genus name is a tribute to the English botanist Robert Moore. Moraea s have iris-like flowers. They make good potted plants and are suitable rockery plants too. Most enjoy well-drained soil and full sun to flower best. Moraea elliottii is a South African indigenous species from the Eastern Cape, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Western Cape Provinces. It was previously known as Moraea juncifolia, Moraea macra, Moraea stewartae and Moraea violacea. Commonly known as Bloutulp in Afrikaans this summer growing species grows to 50cm tall with a terete/channelled leaf. From spring to autumn it bears attractive blue-violet flowers with yellow to orange nectar guides.
