Thicket Ox-tongue
Gasteria excelsa
Gasteria excelsa is a striking, large-growing succulent native to the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, where it clings to shaded, south-facing cliffs and rocky thickets from sea level up to 1,500 m. One of the biggest species in the genus, it forms a single, robust rosette of stiff, triangular leaves up to 40 cm long, dark green and mottled with pale spots, edged with sharp, heavily serrated white margins. In summer it sends up a tall flower spike, sometimes over a meter high, carrying clusters of stomach-shaped, light pink blooms that attract sunbirds.
Ox Tongue
Gasteria obliqua
Gasteria obliqua, commonly known as Ox Tongue, is a slow-growing succulent native to South Africa. It features thick, tongue-shaped leaves with white spots that grow in a characteristic two-ranked (distichous) arrangement. Named for its resemblance to an ox's tongue, this compact plant is exceptionally forgiving and well-suited to low-light indoor environments.
Namaqua Ox Tongue
Gasteria pillansii
Gasteria pillansii, commonly known as the Namaqua Ox Tongue, is a slow-growing succulent native to the arid winter-rainfall regions of Namaqualand in southwestern South Africa and southern Namibia. It produces thick, strap-shaped leaves arranged in two opposite rows (distichous), mottled with white tubercles. In summer, it sends up tall racemes of tubular pink to red-orange flowers with greenish tips, beloved by nectar-feeding birds. It is one of the hardiest Gasteria species and thrives with minimal care.

Gaura biennis, commonly known as Biennial Gaura or Biennial Beeblossom, is a tall native wildflower from the eastern United States in the family Onagraceae. It grows up to 6 feet (1.8 m) tall, producing delicate white to pink flowers that open in the evening and flutter gracefully in the breeze. Though each plant lives only two years, it self-seeds prolifically, ensuring a lasting presence in the garden.
White Gaura
Gaura lindheimeri
Gaura lindheimeri is a graceful perennial native to south-central United States and Mexico, celebrated for its airy white-to-pink flowers that flutter on wiry stems like dancing butterflies. It forms loose, arching clumps 50–150 cm tall, blooming abundantly from spring through first fall frosts.

It is a tough, drought-tolerant plant adapted to poor, well-drained soils, widely used in rock gardens, banks, and ornamental borders. The English royal House of Plantagenet takes its name from the Latin planta genista, as its founders wore a sprig of the plant as an emblem.
Cranesbill
Geranium
Geranium (cranesbill) is a large genus of about 430 species of flowering perennials and annuals in the family Geraniaceae. Unlike the tender Pelargonium commonly sold as "geranium" in shops, true Geraniums are hardy perennials that die back in winter and reliably regrow each spring. They are beloved in temperate gardens for their delicate saucer-shaped flowers in shades of blue, purple, pink and white, and their attractive deeply-lobed foliage that often turns vivid shades in autumn. Cranesbills are remarkably adaptable, thriving in sun or partial shade and a wide range of soil types.

White Avens
Geum canadense
White avens is a native North American woodland perennial in the rose family, forming low clumps of semi-evergreen, lobed foliage. From late spring into early summer it sends up wiry stems tipped with small, five-petaled white flowers that draw in bees and other pollinators. Once flowering ends, the seed heads develop hooked bristles that cling readily to fur and clothing, aiding seed dispersal. It spreads gently as a shade-tolerant ground cover in woodland gardens and naturalized borders.

Geum macrophyllum, or largeleaf avens, is a herbaceous perennial in the rose family (Rosaceae) native to North America, Kamchatka, and Japan. It forms a basal rosette of long-stalked, pinnately compound leaves with a large, rounded terminal lobe and smaller toothed leaflets beneath. From spring to summer, branching stems 30-100 cm tall carry small, five-petaled yellow flowers with numerous stamens, followed by distinctive bur-like seed heads whose hooked, reddish styles catch on fur and clothing to aid dispersal. It grows in moist woods, meadows, streambanks, and disturbed damp ground from low to subalpine elevations, ranging from Alaska south to California and Mexico, east across Canada and the northern United States.
Wood Avens
Geum urbanum
Wood Avens (Geum urbanum) is a herbaceous perennial in the Rosaceae family, native to the temperate regions of Europe and Asia. It grows naturally along woodland edges, hedgerows, and shaded, moist ground, reaching up to 60 cm in height. It produces glossy compound basal leaves and small five-petaled yellow flowers from May through August. When cut, the root releases a clove-like scent due to its eugenol content, earning it the folk name "Clove Root." Historically it was one of the most valued medicinal herbs in medieval Europe, used as a digestive tonic and in herbal infusions.
Tahitian Bridal Veil
Gibasis geniculata
Gibasis geniculata is an evergreen perennial from the Commelinaceae family (spiderworts), native to tropical America (from Mexico to northern South America), where it grows as a groundcover in moist, shady habitats. It is grown as a very popular hanging houseplant due to its dense, fleshy shoots with small dark green leaves and tiny white three-petaled flowers, resembling a lacy veil, which gives it its name. It grows quickly and spreads easily, and is considered an invasive species in some tropical regions.
Tahitian Bridal Veil
Gibasis pellucida
A trailing or hanging plant from the Commelinaceae family, native to Mexico and Central America. It forms cascades of thin stems with narrow green leaves and purple undersides, producing small white three-petaled flowers almost year-round.

Gladiolus
Gladiolus is a genus of about 260 species in the iris family (Iridaceae), most of them native to southern Africa, with others from tropical Africa, the Mediterranean and western Asia. Plants grow from a flattened corm and produce fans of stiff, sword-shaped leaves and a tall spike of funnel-shaped flowers that open from the bottom up. The gladiolus sold in garden centres and florists are mostly large-flowered hybrids (Gladiolus x hortulanus), 60 to 180 cm tall, in almost every colour except true blue; the care on this page is based on them.
Garden Verbena
Glandularia x hybrida
Garden verbena (Glandularia x hybrida, synonym Verbena x hybrida) is an ornamental plant of hybrid origin, resulting from crosses between South American species of the genus Glandularia. With a low-growing, trailing, or slightly upright habit, it forms compact mounds covered by dense, colorful flower clusters from early summer through fall. It is widely cultivated in gardens, window boxes, hanging baskets, and flower beds for its abundant and prolonged blooming, as well as its ability to attract butterflies and pollinators.

Glebionis coronaria, the garland chrysanthemum, is an annual herb in the Asteraceae family native to the Mediterranean. It features aromatic, deeply serrated leaves and yellow to white daisy-like flowers.

Gomphocarpus physocarpus is a perennial subshrub native to Southern Africa, now widely naturalized and cultivated as an ornamental worldwide. It reaches about 1.5 to 2 meters (5 to 6.5 feet) in height, with narrow, lanceolate, light green foliage. Its distinctive feature is its spectacular fruiting: inflated, spherical, pale green follicles covered with soft bristles, resembling small spiky balloons, which open at maturity to release seeds topped with a silky tuft. The small, white flowers tinged with pink are slightly fragrant. The entire plant contains a milky sap rich in cardiotonic glycosides, making it toxic if ingested and irritating upon contact with skin and eyes.
