Growing Guides

Welcome to our Growing Guides, where we share practical advice from our flower farm in South Africa.

Growing flowers in South Africa comes with its own challenges — our seasons, temperatures and growing conditions are often very different from those described in overseas growing advice. These guides are based on what we have learnt growing flowers ourselves, right here in South African soil.

Whether you're growing dahlias, ranunculus, gladiolus, chrysanthemums or alstroemeria, you'll find advice to help you through each stage of the growing season — from preparing your soil and planting to watering, feeding, flowering, harvesting and caring for your plants at the end of the season.

Choose what you're growing below and explore our step-by-step guides, practical tips and lessons learnt from the field.

Grow with us, one season at a time.
