Perfect for Containers, Hanging Baskets & Borders
Parrot’s Beak naturally trails and spills, making it ideal for hanging baskets, window boxes, and patio pots where its fiery flowers can cascade beautifully. It also performs well as a groundcover in rockeries and sunny borders, where it creates a lush, silvery carpet topped with vibrant blooms.
Easy-Care & Water Wise
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Lotus berthelotii is wonderfully low-maintenance and drought tolerant once established—perfect for South African gardens. Simply water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering. Feed every few weeks in the flowering season with a balanced liquid fertiliser to encourage continuous blooms.
