Pelargonium tomentosum — often called peppermint-scented pelargonium — is a charming, soft-leaved plant grown as much for its fragrance as its looks. Its velvety, heart-shaped leaves release a fresh peppermint scent when touched, making it a delight along pathways, patios, or anywhere you can brush past it.

In season, delicate white flowers with subtle markings rise above the foliage, adding gentle beauty without overpowering the plant’s main attraction — its scented leaves. Its spreading, slightly trailing habit makes it ideal for pots, hanging baskets, or as a soft groundcover in sheltered garden spots.

This pelargonium prefers bright light or partial shade and well-drained soil. It is easy to care for, forgiving of occasional neglect, and benefits from light trimming to keep it compact and bushy.

Perfect for both new gardeners wanting a rewarding, low-fuss plant and seasoned growers who appreciate sensory garden plants, peppermint pelargonium adds texture, fragrance, and charm wherever it grows.

Clematis Princess Diana

Carol Wixley — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 06:48:30 +0000

A Bold Splash of Colour for Every Garden
The Princess Diana is a true garden standout, known for its pink bell-shaped flowers. This vigorous and eye-catching climber flowers from mid-summer into late autumn, providing months of striking color and visual interest. Its pink tones are especially effective when paired with blue or white-colored flowers or foliage, making it a dynamic addition to both modern and traditional South African gardens.

Vigorous Growth with a Manageable Size
Growing to a height of 2 to 3 metres, Princess Diana is perfect for training up trellises, fences, arches, or pergolas. Despite its strong flowering performance, it maintains a tidy, manageable habit that suits both large and small spaces. It thrives in full sun to part shade, and like most clematis, it appreciates cool, shaded roots—an easy fix with mulch or companion plantings.

Simple Care, Spectacular Results
This variety belongs to Pruning Group 3, meaning it’s easy to care for: just give it a hard prune in late winter (July–August), cutting stems back to ground level when dormant over winter. This encourages fresh, vigorous growth and maximizes the flower display. Its resilience and reliable blooming habit make Princess Diana is an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.

A Proven Performer in South African Conditions
Well-suited to a wide range of South African climates, Princess Diana performs best in well-drained soil with consistent moisture and good air circulation. Its long flowering season and colour make it ideal for creating living walls, garden screens, or vibrant vertical accents. If you’re looking to add drama, depth, and long-lasting beauty to your garden, Bees Jubilee delivers with flair and dependability.

Shipped as 2-year-old plants in a 23cm pot. Please note that the plants will not necessarily have flowers on when shipped.

Plants will be sent without their stakes so that the height of the packaging can be reduced. Every package will be sent with growing and pruning instructions.
