Serruria Lemon Honey

Serruria Lemon Honey is a delicate and charming South African native shrub known for its fine, fern-like foliage and clusters of soft yellow, honey-scented flowers. It forms a compact, bushy plant that is ideal for adding texture and subtle colour to gardens, borders, or native plantings.

The flowers are highly prized in floristry for their longevity, gentle fragrance, and suitability in both fresh and dried arrangements, making them versatile for bouquets and decorative displays.

In the garden, Serruria Lemon Honey thrives in full sun with well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Like most members of the Proteaceae family, it prefers low-nutrient conditions and minimal watering once established, making it well suited to low-maintenance and water-wise landscapes.

Serruria are stunning plants that thrive in pots or containers, making them perfect for patios or balconies. You can even bring them indoors briefly when they’re in full bloom to enjoy their delicate flowers up close. When growing in containers, always use Australian native potting mix and fertilise only with an Australian native plant fertiliser. Once established, Serruria are extremely low maintenance and drought tolerant. They do best in full sun and prefer an open, airy spot with well-drained soil.
