Graceful and fast growing with smooth yellow-green trunk and branches being its most striking feature. Flowers are sweetly scented fluffy yellow balls. Sparse rounded crown of light green foliage with long white thorns. Grows near rivers and swamps. Prune off lower branches to form single stemmed tree. Mulch thickly with good compost, water regularly and feed with high nitrogen organic or chemical fertilizer to boost growth.

Compact, rounded shrub with needle like leaves and a myriad of tiny pink star-like flowers in autumn and spring, very similar to Coleonema but more compact and floriferous. Does well in a sunny position and responds to regular watering and light feeding with slow release 3:1:5 or organic fertiliser. Excellent for coastal gardens.
Location: Knysna to Keurbooms River and Eastern Cape
Low growing ornamental buchu with aromatic leaves and striking star-shaped pink flowers most of the year, but especially in winter. Plant in groups or as edging for best effect. Excellent coastal plant. Prune when necessary. Responds well to applications of 3:1:5 slow release or compost 2-3 times yearly.
Location: Bredasdorp to Mossel Bay. Coastal limestone areas.
A very rewarding aromaticic ornamental buchu, although natural habitat is limestone, it thrives well in a normal garden situation. Leaves are soft grey and stems are topped with 3 - 4 showy open pink flowers making it a wonderfull mixed border or container plant contrasting well with larger and green leaved shrubs and Restios. Plant in well drained full sun position, water well initially to settle, prune lightly to shape and feed with organic fertiliser or 3:1:5 especially before flowering.
Location: Limestone hills on the Agulhas Plain
