Melianthus major 'Antonow's Blue', Honeybush sun or part sun Such lovelyAn exceptional selection named after a gifted gardener, this Honeybush is a reliably hardy, quick growing South African native. Up to 18 inch long blue green leaves have "pinked" edges, and arch like ostrich feathers. The ambiguous leaf color allows for a purplish interpretation depending upon its context. The leaves are especially beautiful when studded with rain diamonds! Dramatic pendant spikes have brick red flowers that amaze from June to August.
