| Description | Leptospermum obovatum
A small dense mounding shrub with soft lemon-scented foliage with a profusion of lime-cream flowers that attract butterflies and provide food for insect-foraging small birds such as Scrub Wrens. It is perfect for low hedging, with minimal shaping required; may be planted beside pools and bog gardens; and can be clipped regularly to create a formal ball in a decorative container. Grows approx 1x1m
7''/18cm pot | Charlie Carp All Purpose is one of Australia's best organically based, environmentally friendly general-purpose liquid fertiliser. This award-winning general fertiliser that can be used on all plants and shrubs, is organically based and is made from European carp, a pest that is destroying Australian waterways.
The 1 litre concentrate All Purpose Fertiliser is an economical way to get the most out of a bottle. Standard dilution rate is 10ml to 1 litre of water (1 cap full = 10ml) or alternatively if using a standard watering can (9 litres) – 90ml of concentrate into 9 litres of water.
- For the best results we recommend applying to the foliage until saturated to the point of dripping – this allows the plants to take in the nutrients immediately, and the run-off drips into the soil feeding the roots.
- Charlie Carp is best applied on its own as mixing with other products may effect performance.
- When temperatures exceed 32°C do not apply to foliage as leaf or fruit damage may be possible.
Use Charlie Carp for all plants & shrubs including: Lawns, Vegetables, Flowers, Indoor Plants, Hanging Baskets, Strawberries, Palms, Orchids, Roses, Ferns, Native Shrubs, Seedlings, Herbs.
Charlie Carp Good For Everything Your Garden Grows | 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. |
