English: Cape Ivy
A herbaceous climber vesy similar to Canary Creeper with fleshy, toothed leaves. In nature, it grows on forest margins, so it will thrive in semi-shade or sun. It can also be used as an Ivy-like ground cover ideal for banks and loffelstein. In autumn, it carries clusters of yellow, daiy-like flowers. Fast-growing when fed regularly with organic fertilizer or 3:1:5. Water during dry periods until established. A new introduction which should prove useful in landscaping and gardening.

Afrikaans: Skaapvygie
Summer flowering succulent with prostrate habit and small white to pale pink flowers. Plant in sunny position in sandy well drained medium and feed occasionally for improved growth.
Location: Free State and Lesotho
A free-flowering vygie that will bloom at odd times throughout the year. It has large, shimmering purple blooms and a cascading habit. Ideal for sunny slopes.
Vygies are always delightful in spring, but this charming one never seems to stop flowering. The shiny pink flowers are followed by reddish seed capsules which add to the texture and visual interest of the plant. A perfect candidate for rockeries, raised beds or mass plantings in full sun.
