The SA Bulb Company is a specialist nursery owned by Leigh & Johann Nieuwoudt. We also co-created

decades and we were partners in Penrock Seeds & Plants for over 5 years until our business partner in
Penrock passed away.

specimens are large or mature or the bulbs have special characteristics in their growth habit, foliage or
flower colour. We are focusing on beautiful foliage including Gethyllis, Eriospermum, Drimia,
Ledebouria, Drimiopsis, Albuca, Ornithogalum, Resnova, Massonia, Daubenya, Hessea, Strumaria,
Haemanthus & other rare genera. Some stock is very limited and is sold on a STRICTLY FIRST COME
FIRST SERVE BASIS.
