Scilla violacea (synonym Ledebouria socialis) is a South African succulent bulb with silvery-green leaves with abundant speckles and violet undersides. Prolifically produces small bulb offsets. Small lilac hyacinth-like flowers during winter months. Porous soil with adequate drainage. Filtered light with ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Protect from frost.

Ornithogalum caudatum, native to South Africa, is an interesting plant the resembles a lily. The ovate green bulb is often semi-exposed (only partly underground) and exhibits a peeling, paper-thin epidermis. New offsets "burst" through the papery skin, thus the common name "Pregnant Onion". Long, straplike leaves give the appearance of an onion plant. Long floral stalks, sometimes over 3' in height, are topped by many small white flowers with green midstripes. Good indoor plant, but also can handle landscape conditions. Porous soil with adequate drainage. Filtered light to full sun. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Protect from frost.

Peperomia dolabriformis, native to Peru, forms erect clusters of very fleshy, lime green leaves that are shaped like "pea pods". Upper margins of leaves have a longitudinal "window". Good for windowsill culture or as an accent in dish gardens. Requires very porous soil with excellent drainage. This plant is a forest dweller and does best with a culture that gives excellent airflow and a soil that allows the water to run quickly away from the roots and not promote sodden conditions. Filtered light with ample airflow. Avoid drafts. Water thoroughly but allow to dry moderately between waterings. Prefers temperatures over 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Protect from frost.

Peperomia ferreyrae, native to Peru, forms stems with long, wispy lime green leaves. Leaves are very slender and have a longitudinal "window" along the margin. Great for windowsill culture, or as an accent color in dish gardens. Requires very porous soil with excellent drainage. This plant is a forest dweller and does best with a culture that gives excellent airflow and a soil that allows the water to run quickly away from the roots and not promote sodden conditions. Filtered light with ample airflow. Avoid drafts. Water thoroughly but allow to dry moderately between waterings. Prefers temperatures over 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Protect from frost.

Peperomia graveolens, native to Peru and Ecuador, forms small plants with glowing wine red stems with extremely succulent leaves that are wine red except on the upper side where there is a v-shaped transparent "window" to enable photosynthesis. This plant is a forest dweller at high altitudes and does best with a culture that gives excellent airflow and a soil that allows the water to run quickly away from the roots and not promote sodden conditions. These plants have evolved to have leaves with red undersides as the light from the forest floors is green in spectrum, and green leaves merely reflect green light. However, red leaves can absorb and utilize some of the light to enable photosnynthesis. Very porous soil with excellent drainage. Filtered to bright light with ample airflow. Water thoroughly when dry, but allow to dry somewhat between watering. Protect from frost. Peperomia graveolen is a member of the iperaceae family

Please go to the "Visit my Garden page" to see this ground cover in action.Portulacaria afra 'Variegata' (Rainbow Bush) is a form of the South African "Elephant Bush". Beautiful shrubby plant with mahogany-colored stems that are accented by highly succulent yellow leaves with green midstripes. The habit of this plant differs from the upright stance of the "Elephant Bush" in that it is somewhat cascading and spreads quickly laterally, rather than vertically. Often used as a bonsai subject as the the stems are easily trained, and the contrast of the gnarly mahogany stems with the delicate round colorful leaves creates an Oriental ambience. Great as hanging basket in atrium or patio, or as a gracefully cascading bonsai. Porous soil with adequate drainage. Bright light. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Protect from frost.

Spider plants are in the Liliaceae family. According to wikipedia.org: Spider plants have long narrow leaves that are 20–40 cm (8–15 in) long and 5–20 mm (0.2–0.8 in) broad, which grow from a central rosette. At the spot where a leaf would normally develop a node, these plants will produce adventitious roots down into the soil, and new above ground shoots. It also produces branched stolons with small white flowers and baby plantlets.

Stapelia gettleffii is a native to southeastern Botswana, South Africa, southern Zimbabwe, It usually grows in shaded situations, often with other stapelias.
