Campanula is one of several genera in the family Campanulaceae with the common name bellflower. It takes both its common and its scientific name from its bell-shaped flowers— campanula is Latin for "little bell". The genus includes over 500 species and several subspecies, distributed across the temperate and subtropical regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with the highest diversity in the Mediterranean region east to the Caucasus. The range also extends into mountains in tropical regions of Asia and Africa.           The species include annual, biennial and perennial plants, and vary in habit from dwarf arctic and alpine species under 5 cm high, to large temperate grassland and woodland species growing to 2 metres tall. Campanula barbata, common name Bearded Bellflower, is a species of perennial bellflower. This delicate little plant forms a small basal rosette of narrow, hairy leaves, with arching spires of blue bells which also are hairy inside (hence the origin of the Latin name). This plant is usually a short-lived perennial but generally self-seeds to make attractive drifts on a scree or rockery.

Mammillaria is arguably the most popular cactus genus in cultivation. Mammillarias have extremely variable spination from species to species, and eye-catching flowers, making them specifically attractive for cactus hobbyists. Most Mammillaria plants are considered easy to cultivate. The genus Mammillaria is one of the largest in the Cactaceae family, with currently over 200 known species and varieties recognized. Mammillarias are native to Mexico, southwest USA, the Caribbean, Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala and Honduras. The first was described by Carolus Linnaeus as Cactus mammillaris in 1753, deriving its name from Latin mammilla, "nipple", referring to the tubercles that are one of the plant's specific features.           In 1812, the cactus specialist Adrian Haworth described the genus Mammillaria to contain this and related species. Numerous species are commonly known as nipple cactus, fishhook cactus or pincushion though such terms may also be used for related taxa such as Escobaria. Mammillaria species can be grown as pot plants and make interesting features on a sunny veranda or windowsill. They also make an attractive addition to a rockery or water-wise garden. The variation in spines is a novel selling feature and often, these plants fit the stereotypical expectations that most people have for a cactus plant, although some species are only going to be found among highly-dedicated cactus growers. The popularity of this genus has led to a good deal of study and consequent literature on both growing and identifying Mammillaria species. Mammillaria compressa commonly known as Mother of Hundreds is an easily clustering and easily flowered species. It is one of the largest of all the Mammillarias. Most plants will offset readily, and huge clumps can be produced in a very few years. It is a fast growing species which requires regular irrigation in summer but should be left to go dry between watering. For best results use a pot with good drainage and a very porous growing media. Keep it dry in winter and feed with a high potassium fertilizer in summer. It is quite frost resistant if kept dry, hardy as low as -12°C. Outdoors in the garden it thrives on full sun or afternoon shade, inside it needs bright light, and some direct sun. This is an easily clustering and easily flowered species. Most plants will offset readily, and clumps can be produced in a few years.

Mammillaria gigantea is native to the arid deserts of San Luis Potosi, Guanajuato, Queretaro and Durango in Mexico. The scientific name gigantea is referring to its large size compared to other species in the genus. It can be found at altitudes of 1750 to 2400 m. They are solitary plants, growing up to 10cm high and 15 to 17 cm in diameter. the stems are blue green in colour. There are up to 12 white, needle-like radial spines up to 3 mm long and 4 to 6 yellow to brown central spines growing up to 20 mm in length. Flowers are yellowish green in colour and are followed by dull pink to greenish fruits.

Mammillaria matudae is native to Michoacán and Guerrero in Mexico. The name matudae honours botonist Eizi Matuda. Some synonyms are Mammillaria matudae duocentralis, Mammillaria matudae var. serpentiformis and Mammillaria compacticaulis. It was first described by Helia Bravo Hollis in 1956. The plants have cylindrical stems growing up to 20 cm high and 3 cm in diameter. The older the plant gets, the stems tend to lean over and start to sprawl. Clumps form at the base of these stems. There are 18 to 20 short radial spines of 3 mm long, and one central spine of 5mm long. The small reddish purple flowers are funnel shaped and are followed by red and green fruits.

Mammillaria parkinsonii commonly known as Owl Eye Pincushion, Owl Eye Cactus or Gray Donut Cactus, is native to Guanajuato, Hidalgo and Querétaro in Mexico. Some synonyms include Mammillaria auriareolis, Mammillaria cadereytensis, Mammillaria dietrichiae, Mammillaria neocrucigera, Mammillaria parkinsonii var. dietrichiae and Mammillaria rosensis. These plants are solitary at first, and later branching to form large clumps. They require high light levels to keep the clumps tightly formed. The flowers are pale yellow with red mid-veins followed by reddish orange fruits.

Campanula versicolor commonly known as Clove-scented Campanula is a rare and quite incredible perennial from Greece. It is a strong, statuesque plant bearing large, white-eyed blue bells, and is quite frost-hardy. It has the amazing property of being the only bellflower that is scented. On a hot day it smells of cloves! Additionally the leaves are reputed to be edible and good in salads; but be sparing.

Large, drooping, tubular, white to pale pink, bell-like flowers (to 5cm long) with purple inside spotting appear in terminal racemes atop erect to slightly arching stems. Stems rise up from basal rosettes of rounded, toothed, medium green leaves (to 12.5cm long). Long summer bloom; ideal for cut flowers.

Hypericum perforatum is a yellow-flowering, stoloniferous or sarmentose, perennial herb indigenous to Europe, which has been introduced to many temperate areas of the world and grows wild in many meadows. The common name comes from its traditional flowering and harvesting on St John's day, 24 June. The genus name Hypericum is derived from the Greek words hyper (above) and eikon (picture), in reference to the traditional use of the plant to ward off evil, by hanging plants over a religious icon in the house during St John's day. The species name perforatum refers to the presence of small oil glands in the leaves that look like windows, which can be seen when they are held against the light. St John's wort is a perennial plant with extensive, creeping rhizomes. Its stems are erect, branched in the upper section, and can grow to 1 m high. It has opposing, stalkless, narrow, oblong leaves which are 12 mm long or slightly larger. The leaves are yellow-green in color, with transparent dots throughout the tissue and occasionally with a few black dots on the lower surface. Leaves exhibit obvious translucent dots when held up to the light, giving them a perforated appearance, hence the plant's Latin name. St John's wort is widely known as a herbal treatment for depression. In some countries, such as Germany, it is commonly prescribed for mild depression, especially in children and adolescent.   Please familiarise yourself with the shipping info below Shipping Rates are as listed below Approximate processing and transit times are listed below PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT SHIP OUTSIDE OF SOUTH AFRICA
