Ixia, Watsonia, Crocosmia, Freesia, Bulbine, Clivia, Agapanthus, Amaryllis, Tulbaghia
and dozens more. Add in a few of our own indigenous species like Boophone,
Crinum, Ammocharis, Ornithogalum and Nerine. You can also use those exotic bulbs
that do well here like Zephyranthes (rain flower) and Hymenocallis (Spider flower) or
Cannas. However to add in that Namaqualand magic use Gazanias, Osteospermums,
Euryops, Argyranthemums, Dimorphothecas, and then add in whatever appeals or
whichever seedlings are available like Salvias, Pansies, and Petunias. Sprinkle in a
variety of seeds like Snapdragons, Zinnias, Marigolds, Alyssum, Asters, and Lobelia,
and you might be in for a sensational spring show in your garden. You can create
rivers of flowers in your beds like those at Keukenhof, or dream up new designs on
your own. Text by S.C & Pics: Pixabay
