Aloes 2011

Bulbs 2011

What is a bulb? For the gardener, this term generally includes all plants with lumpy rootstocks. Mature plants can usually be transplanted safely a few days after they are lifted. Such plants would include genuine bulbs such as Ifafa lilies (Cyrtanthus mackenii); plants with rhizomes such as the iris Dietes grandiflora see under Grass-like plants; tuberous plants such as the arum lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica) and plants with corms such as Crocosmia aurea. Bulbs contribute striking forms and the seasonal excitement of delicately perfect, glistening flowers to a planting. Many local bulbs have interesting medicinal properties.

Succulents 2011
Succulents are your key resource if you want to develop a waterwise garden that is full of exciting forms and colours. Many succulents flower in winter and provide rich colour as groundcovers. Some succulents (for example Crassula multicava Fairy crassula have very delicate, starry flowers.

Climbers 2011
You can use climbers to great effect if you want to attract wildlife to an urban garden. Birds covet fruit or nectar from the flowers of different climbers. Several have leaves which caterpillars enjoy. The caterpillars in turn attract more birds. Thick climbers and scramblers provide good nesting sites for birds. The screening and draping qualities of climbers make them essential features of a wild and secluded garden. Plant them close together so that they intertwine, or train them up trees. (Keep them under control if they climb your favourite trees, however.) Bring down old branches or unsightly alien trees by letting a robust climber run rampant over them.

Ferns 2011
There is increasing interest in indigenous ferns. Although most ferns prefer damp, shady positions and are often used as container plants, some varieties thrive in the open and even in sun. (e.g. Microsorium scolopendrium the Dune fern). Some ferns are quite easy to propagate.

Ground covers 2011

Ground covers (for both sunny and shady areas) are crucial garden features which need little maintenance if planted in an appropriate position. They hold the soil and keep it moist as well as keeping weeds under control. They can provide sundrenched carpets and banks of colour, or soft forest-floor effects. Try a scrambling Plectranthus on a shady bank, or plan for breathtaking cascades of blue Barleria on a sunny wall in late summer

Herbaceous shrubs 2011

These are the plants we rely on for seasonal colour displays. Generally they are not as long-lived as the woody shrubs but will thrive for several years if rejuvenated and nurtured by cutting back appropriately, feeding well and mulching. Combine them with groundcovers and foliage plants. The range of indigenous herbaceous plants provides for both spare, formal effects and natural, informal plantings.

Trees 2011
Since trees, with shrubs, provide a framework for the rest of the plants in your garden, and provide homes and food sources for birds and other wildlife, they need to be carefully selected and placed. When selecting trees consider the size of your garden and whether you want it to be shady or more open. Remember that a number of indigenous trees are very fastgrowing pioneer species and will create shady areas even before you expected this to happen. You can obtain beautiful effects by planting different flowering trees next to one another. Also, there is much good advice available on beautiful locally indigenous trees that can replace any invader trees in your garden.
