The subtle sweet scent of the waterblommetjie is one that is deeply embedded in South African culinary memory. Endemic to the Western Cape, these fleshy and fragrant water flowers blossom in July and August upon the water’s surface, and are traditionally stirred into a bredie, a hearty stewed dish.

We have plucked them from their context in the kitchen and bottled their essence to showcase in our fine living wares. Unique and elegant, they make the perfect gift for a very special woman. That’s why we’re offering 10% off all our waterblommetjie products during Women’s Month. 

Water-scent

Breathe in the luscious fragrance of the waterblommetjie and instantly switch to relaxation mode. From soothing candles to rejuvenating lotions, the floral scent, reminiscent of heady Hyacinth, engulfs the senses and transports the mind.  

On the surface

Our exclusive botanical waterblommetjie print, which adorns a selection of linen wares, is another ode to this water lily’s elegance. Add hints of vibrancy and intrigue to your home with our range of pillows, throws and tablecloths.
