Our Scented Collection

Many of our Cape plants carry remarkable natural fragrances, each one shaped by the unique climates and pollinators of the region. Some varieties release their scent in the warmth of the day, while others come alive at dusk or bloom with a rich perfume only after nightfall. Their aromas range from warm cinnamon and soft vanilla to sweet honey notes and gentle floral tones that are instantly recognisable and deeply comforting.

Among the scented gems of the Cape flora are Babiana, Freesia, Albuca, Moraea, Drimia, Gladiolus, and Melasphoerula—each offering its own character, beauty, and fragrance profile. These plants not only add visual charm to a garden, but also create an immersive sensory experience for anyone who grows them.

Listed below are some of our personal favourites from this wonderfully aromatic group.
