A unique and striking multi-branched shrub or small tree from South Africa's southwestern Cape where it's known as the fan aloe - a reference to the unique layout of its strap-like leaves. As the bush matures, racemes of tubular scarlet flowers are a spectacular sight in late-winter and spring.
When seen in full flower during late winter and spring, Kaka King will make you gasp, such is the impact of the vivid large red parrot-beak shaped flowers that hang in clusters from the bush. A selection from New Zealand's native flora sets the standard, and while it requires some work for best display, it's well worth it.
Wondervoll’s versatility impresses - it’s great as a screen, a hedge, or a lawn specimen tree and has the bonus of autumn fruit. It grows quickly to form a bushy tree with olive-green leaves, and late summer brings red flowers, followed by oval green fruit. Fruit yield is enhanced by planting in groups, and adequate summer water. Grows 3 x 2 metres.
Fast growing small tree with glossy rich green leaves year round and large white flowers with yellow centres in winter. Member of the camellia family, hardy to light frosts, needs good drainage and full sun. Great feature or shade plant. Grows to 3-4m high & 2m wide.
