Polygala myrtifolia x dalmaisiana

Polygala Dazzler is a shrub that originates from South Africa and has attractive, almost year round, purple pea-like flowers on light green foliage. It makes a great flowering hedge. Polygala Dazzler prefers a well-drained position, but tolerates poor soils, frost and dry conditions. Pruning in early Spring will encourage bushiness and flowers. Best feed regularly with a slow release fertiliser. 10" pot size.

Adenanthos sericeus

Common names: Albany woolly bush or Silver streak plant Woolly Bush is a native Australian shrub with a conifer look originating from Western Australia. It gets its name from the silky feel of its foliage, which also makes it popular in the cut flower industry. It is a terrific hardy native screening plant that can grow several meters tall and is drought and also salt tolerant. Woolly Bush looks great in the garden with its lovely silver green foliage that appears to be dusted with snow.
