Bulbine frutescens

Bulbine frutescens, commonly referred to as Snake Flower or Cat's Tail, is a charming, rapidly growing herbaceous plant characterised by its linear, evergreen, succulent, and onion-like leaves, making it an excellent ground cover option. Notably, the sap derived from its leaves possesses fantastic skin-healing properties. This plant flourishes in sunny locations and well-draining soil conditions. Although it's hardy, it prefers dry conditions during winter, as it does not tolerate waterlogged roots. However, it can withstand temperatures as low as -5ºC. It's an ideal choice for any garden seeking both aesthetic appeal and medicinal benefits.
