Agathosma
Description
Agathosma gonaquensis, also known as the Gonaqua Buchu, is a fragrant shrub native to South Africa. It is highly valued for its aromatic leaves, which release a refreshing scent when crushed. This plant typically grows to a height of about 1 meter and has small, glossy leaves. The small, white or pink flowers appear in clusters and add to its appeal. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil and is relatively drought-tolerant once established. Pruning after flowering can help maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Propagation is typically done through seeds or semi-hardwood cuttings.
