Grande Red™ is a new range of dark-leaved crepe myrtles that are on the market with bright ruby red flowers. They have been bred especially for Australian gardens, so they are heat and frost-tolerant and perfect for smaller-sized gardens.
8"/20cm pot
'Enduring Summer Red' is the first Crepe Myrtle to flower every summer with big blooms of deep red flowers that continue through until late autumn. A compact shrub that adds a splash of color and interest to the garden all year long; with rusty, red-orange autumn foliage that drops in winter, followed by red early spring foliage that turns to green.
This compact shrub grows to about 1.5 high and wide.
Crepe Myrtle is a small to a medium-sized deciduous shrubby tree that is well adapted to perform beautifully in the Australian heat. Drought tolerant, these trees bear masses of blooms with a crepe-paper like texture in Summer, when nothing much else is flowering. A deciduous tree, the foliage turns bright orange-red in Autumn before falling making it perfect to plant on the northern side of the garden to allow precious Winter sun to shine through. Crepe Myrtle responds well to pruning and is frost hardy and mildew resistant. | Lemon Balm, A clump-forming perennial that can grow up to 3ft tall. It looks very similar to mint in appearance, but it is not as invasive and easier to control. Lemon Balm has a delicate flowery lemon flavour and has a wide variety of uses. The fresh leaves can be used as a garnish for drinks, desserts and savoury dishes. It adds zing to fruit salads, garden salads, fruit drinks and punch, sorbet, herb butters, dressing and sauces. Lemon balm butter with a little pepper added goes well with corn, broccoli, beans and asparagus. Use in marinades or sauces to accompany fish or chicken.
4" pot size. |
