Hi Hazel-Ann
Thanks for visiting Plantbook.
There are several nurseries that specialise in indigenous plants, so try your nearest.
Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens has a seed bank and sells seeds, otherwise try Silver Hill Seeds.
Flourish!

Where can I purchase the seeds or seedlings of these plants in South Africa?
