Description

Syzygium australe

Straight and Narrow is a very slender, semi-compact and dense plant. It has tight, attractive foliage and white flowers that proceeds to beautiful pink/red fruit. This variety is perfect for constricted planting areas, such as along fences and driveways. Also works well for topiary. Thrives in full sun to shade. Suits most, well drained soil types. Tolerates cold and dry.

Ulmus parvifolia

The bark of the Chinese Elm is a real stand out feature, as the tree sheds it in patches, creating the effect of a tapestry of varying browns and greys. Foliage is lush, shiny and green, and the tree is semi deciduous, turning golden in autumn, and keeping its leaves in warmer areas. It has also been noted by many Aussie gardeners in recent years that native birds enjoy the fruit of the Chinese Elm.

Gardenia augusta

Florida is one of the best gardenias available, producing masses of perfumed flowers on a hardy plant.

Beautifully scented
Prolific flowering
Great for low landscaping

Gardenias are warm climate plants, which are at their best in a mild, humid climate. They are seen to perfection in frost-free areas north of Sydney and Perth, but will grow in cooler areas like Melbourne in a warmer, protected position.
