| Description | Ligularia dentata reniformis
Tractor Seat is an outstanding clump-forming foliage plant with large kidney-shaped glossy green leaves that resemble a tractor seat. During summer, long stems of yellow daisy-like flowers rise above the foliage. Thrives in full sun to partly shaded position. Apply a slow-release fertiliser once a year to promote healthy new growth. Ligularia dentata reniformis can grow up to 1m high and 1m wide. | Acacia covenyi 'Blue Bush Wattle'
A rarer form of Acacia, the 'Blue Bush Wattle' has long, blue-grey foliage unlike any other. The foliage alone is one of the main reasons this wattle is chosen for hedging or screening, making a gorgeous steel blue wall of hardy foliage. And in the spring it's flush with the iconic yellow pom-pom wattle flowers, contrasting vibrantly against the foliage.
To get the best flowering results, plant in full sun, but Blue Bush Wattle can grow well in part shade. They do not like soggy soils, so be sure to plant in a well drained position.
6"/14cm pot | Camellia sasanqua
Camellia Paradise Petite pink is a hardy, compact, evergreen shrub that reaches up to 1.5m tall. It shows small fluffy pale pink buds that open in Autumn with bright yellow centres. Paradise camellias are hybrid camellias bred in Australia to suit the conditions here. They're perfect for hedging and will also look great as a feature in a pot. Plant in a sunny position in rich, well drained soil. Water well and mulch in hotter months.
