| Description | Callistemon sieberi Sugar Candy dazzles with its delightful candy-pink brushes, brimming with nectar, and attracts honeyeaters from near and far. This striking shrub puts on a fantastic show in early spring and again in late summer, proudly standing tall. It's an excellent choice as a standout feature plant, and it works beautifully for both formal and informal hedging. The new leaf growth is a lovely silvery hue, adding its own charm to the display. You can shape the plants as you wish through pruning, but if you prefer a more relaxed look, simply give them a light trim after the flowers fade and nourish them with a low-phosphorus fertiliser suitable for Australian plants. | Luma apiculataMyrtus Luma is the medium to tall hedge with real traditional style. A lot of people believe the only fast growing larger hedge with fine foliage is the Pittosporum. It is an extraordinarily versatile plant suitable for hedging, screening, topiary, or as a specimen tree, but its small, aromatic leaves respond so well to pruning that it is commonly used as a hedge. Myrtus luma also makes a wonderful specimen tree if left unpruned. With age it forms an outstanding trunk with cinnamon brown branches. Its bark peels to reveal streaks of pink and beige. What a plant! It really should be seen more in Australian gardens. | |
