Description

Bulbine (Bulbine frutescens), sometimes called Stalked Bulbine or Burn Jelly Plant, is a hardy, low-maintenance succulent known for its charming, star-shaped yellow or orange flowers that bloom in clusters atop tall, slender stems. Native to South Africa, Bulbine blooms almost year-round in warmer climates, adding consistent color to the garden. The plant’s narrow, fleshy green leaves grow in a clumping, grass-like form and contain a gel similar to aloe, often used for soothing minor skin irritations, giving it the nickname “Burn Jelly Plant.”

Bulbine typically grows 12 to 18 inches tall and wide, with flower stalks reaching up to 2 feet. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is hardy in USDA zones 9-11. This plant is very drought-tolerant once established and does best in well-draining, sandy, or rocky soil, making it perfect for xeriscaping or low-water gardens. In cooler climates, Bulbine can be grown as an annual or in containers that can be moved indoors during winter.

Ideal for borders, rock gardens, or ground cover, Bulbine attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies while being resistant to deer and pests. It requires minimal care, with occasional pruning of spent flower stalks to encourage further blooms. With its year-round flowering potential, water-wise nature, and medicinal properties, Bulbine is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking both beauty and functionality in their landscape.

Blue Daze (Evolvulus glomeratus), also known as Brazilian Dwarf Morning Glory, is a charming, low-growing perennial prized for its delicate, true-blue flowers and silvery-green foliage. Native to tropical and subtropical regions of Brazil, Blue Daze produces small, funnel-shaped flowers that bloom continuously from spring through fall, making it a popular choice for adding vibrant color to garden beds, borders, and containers. Each bloom lasts only a day but is quickly replaced by new flowers, ensuring a steady display of color.

This makes it an excellent ground cover or trailing plant for hanging baskets. It thrives in full sun, where its foliage and flowers reach peak vibrancy, and it is hardy in USDA zones 9-11. In cooler climates, Blue Daze is often treated as an annual, as it does not tolerate frost. It prefers well-draining soil and is both heat- and drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for hot, dry climates. Low-maintenance by nature, Blue Daze benefits from light pruning to maintain shape and can tolerate a bit of neglect, thriving even in challenging conditions.
