| Description | Ficus microcarpa var. nitida
Common names: Chinese Banyan, Malayan Banyan or Indian Laurel Fig.
A hardy evergreen ficus plants and are the number one choice for standardizing. The soft, white bark contrasts beautifully against the exuberant, glossy green foliage, making a feature out of your pleached hedge or standard topiary. It can tolerate a wide range of soils from clay to sandy, preferring a rich, moist loam in which it would thrive. They grow best in full sun to part shade and produce no flowers, making it a no mess hedging option!
Ficus roots are known to be quite vigorous, but can be controlled by keeping the foliage and head of the plant trimmed, roughly 2-4 times a year. They are best planted away from water pipes, easements and pools to avoid any root issues.

Moonlight Leucospermum is a medium sized shrub reaching 2m with spectacular yellow pin cushion flowers in Spring. Plant in well drained, acidic soils in a sunny position. It is drought tolerant but may require water in the first summer of planting and in extremely dry conditions. Perfect for attracting wildlife and for cut flowers.

It produces a fantastic Autumn colour with foliage turning bright orange and red. Loves a position of full sun or part shade. Can tolerate cold temperates.
10" pot size.
