Our Koeboebos Collection

A diverse collection of rare and visually striking bulbous plants—also known as geophytes—is cultivated with care in Koeboebos, Jeffreys Bay. Many of the Cape’s most remarkable bulbs display dramatic, short-lived blooms that open only for a day, creating unforgettable moments of colour. Others reward growers with weeks of continuous flowering, including favourites like Cyanella hyacinthoides and certain Babiana species.

Some bulbs, such as Brunsvigia and Haemanthus, require patience and may take a year or more to flower after transplanting. Yet many spring-flowering gems are surprisingly eager performers, often blooming within a year from seed germination. Reliable early bloomers like Freesia, Sparaxis, and Ixia offer gardeners an accessible entry into the world of Cape bulbs while still delivering rare beauty and distinctive charm.

Whether you are expanding a collection or discovering these captivating species for the first time, these bulbs bring a sense of wonder, season after season.
