| Description | Poa labillardieri 'Tussock Grass'
Poa labillardieri is a aesthetic dense grass with long, slender, soft, greyish-green leaves. Prefers a moist well drained soil and grows best in a position of partial shade but can tolerate full sun.
Tussock Grass is tolerant of moderate salt winds. This plant is good for landscaping or food for grazing animals.
3''/7cm pot | Pyrus calleryana 'Bradford'
The original ornamental pear from which all other ornamental pears were scioned.
• Spring blossoms on bare branches
• Vibrant autumnal colours of red, orange and purple
• Ideal for rural properties or as a shade tree
Bradford Pears are becoming superseded by newer varieties that are far less affected by strong winds and are more structural sound.
For more information on Ornamental Pears see our Pyrus - Ornamental Pear Factsheet
For care instructions, features and more, check out Additional Information below | Buxus microphylla
Korean Box is a fantastic compact shrub with long but finer leaves than most buxus. It's foliage is a bright green long oval shape with gloss. It is one of the lowest growing buxus and so is ideal for box hedging, however it can tend to turn yellow in full sun, so it will prefer a part shade/filtered light position.
Korean box is one of the slower growing varieties and is great in pots or as topiary's. This plant has a moderate growth rate that grows to approximately 50-60cm in height. Plant every 20cm - 5 per meter for an optimum hedge. |
