Fynbos Gardens in Full Bloom

An early morning walk through Fernkloof Nature Reserve and the surrounding landscaped Fynbos gardens during this time of year yields an abundance of eye catching flowering Fynbos and indigenous South African flora perfectly suited for planting in Hermanus landscaping and gardens.

Fynbos is a unique, incredibly rich form of endemic vegetation dominant  to the Cape Floristic Region, found only at the very tip of Southern Africa in the South Western Cape and should be celebrated by Hermanus landscapers and gardeners.

I am an ardent Fynbos lover, whether it be planted in an informal naturalistic landscape design, a formal structured garden or in a contemporary landscape, Fynbos is perfectly suited offering an incredible depth of Texture, foliage and colour.

For more information on each one of these Fynbos beauties and how to use them in your Hermanus landscaping have a look at my weekly plant of the week series.
