For care instructions, features and more, check out Additional Information below | Callistemon pallidus 'Lemon Bottlebrush'
Callistemon pallidus or the Lemon Bottlebrush is a popular native shrub and is useful as a featured specimen or as a screen. It is upright in form, with spreading branches that are quite slender and mid-green tapered leaves that are hairy when young. The flowers are profuse, cylindrical shaped and a vibrant lemon yellow colour, often covering the entire shrub with colour from spring through to summer. Prefers well drained, moist soils and a good layer of mulch also helps maintain moisture access. Pruning will help keep it tight and neat, especially after flowering is over.

| Gaura lindheimeri "Butterfly Bush"
Butterfly Bush is a bushy, hardy perennial shrub with long graceful stems that bloom with pale pink flowers in spring-summer. These stems grow up to 1m long, but can be clipped back shorter, and sway gracefully in the breeze. The name of a popular variety, Whirling Butterflies, perfectly describes the way the plant resembles a cloud of butterflies when swaying in the breeze.
