Burn jelly plant is a fast growing, branched, succulent perennial with fleshy green leaves. It forms spreading clumps and grows well in a sunny, dry spot. It generally does not need watering.



The brightly coloured, yellow flowers are attractive for bees.




Medicinal uses*
The fresh leaves produce a jelly-like juice that is wonderful for burns, rashes, blisters, insect bites, cracked lips, acne, cold sores, mouth ulcers and areas of cracked skin. This plant is easy to grow and is a useful first-aid remedy for childrens' daily knocks and scrapes.
Traditionally the leaves have been used to make an infusion in a cup of boiling water. The strained drink was taken for coughs, colds and arthritis. However we have not tried it internally at KoruKai Herb Farm, but go for it on a regular basis for insect bites, stings and burns.

Growing conditions
Bulbine frutescens is often used in landscaping where a drought-resistant, tough groundcover is required.

It is an easy-to-grow waterwise groundcover which, with the minimum of care, will look good all year round. It combines beautifully with blue dwarf agapanthus, flowering at the same time.

This succulent perennial multiplies rapidly. Prune it when untidy. For best results it should be planted in well-drained soil preferably enriched with compost. The dead flower heads should be removed to encourage further flowering. These plants prefer full sun, but they will also grow in semi-shade for part of the day. Although it will grow indoors, it requires maximum light.

A true must have!

Was very glad to discover this plant in your collection. Had it in Germany and used it successfully on sunburned skin and for insect bites and little cuts as well. Highly recommended and easy to grow !

Great little grower

We bought our Burn Jelly in 2021, but kept it in a pot the first year. It did well and multiplied up enough that I could divide it after the first year. We planted our divisions into a garden in July 2022, and within 3 months it has begun filling out the space wonderfully, and is flowering. Great, vigorous little plant.

Plants arrived in good condition

We have planted them in a pot, I see that there is a ‘flower’ appearing on one plant. They aren’t out in the garden yet but they may need a move shortly :) Packaging was fine and everything arrived in good condition and promptly.

Plants are going really well

They’re going really well – I have one inside in a sunny window, and one outside in a greenhouse. The outside one is definitely bigger, and even ok after the cold weather last night (-1 C). The shipping in bare root was good, the package was still moist when it arrived so they looked fine.
