| Description | Ulmus parvifolia
The bark of the Chinese Elm is a real stand out feature, as the tree sheds it in patches, creating the effect of a tapestry of varying browns and greys. Foliage is lush, shiny and green, and the tree is semi deciduous, turning golden in autumn, and keeping its leaves in warmer areas. It has also been noted by many Aussie gardeners in recent years that native birds enjoy the fruit of the Chinese Elm. | Iberis sempervirens
Iberis ‘Elite White’ is a charming evergreen perennial prized for its masses of pure white flower clusters that blanket the plant in spring, creating a crisp, elegant display. Its low, mounding growth habit makes it perfect for garden borders, rockeries, containers, and cascading over walls. The glossy green foliage remains attractive year-round, providing texture and colour even when not in bloom.
- Feeding: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring
- Maintenance: Light trim after flowering to maintain a neat shape and encourage fresh growth
- Size: Grows to approx. 25–30 cm high x 40–50 cm wide
