| Description | Archontophoenix cunninghamiana
Bangalow Palms are native to Australia and are often used as indoor plants here down South. To grow into a very large tree they would probably require warmer climates than Melbourne, but as a small or medium size tree they look lovely anyway.
Use Bangalow Palms as a clumped indoor plant or in a sheltered spot outdoors to add a tropical feel to the garden. | Lychnis coronaria 'Pink'
Lychnis ‘Pink’ is a hardy perennial admired for its vibrant clusters of bright pink flowers that stand out against soft grey-green foliage. Blooming throughout summer, it adds a bold splash of colour to beds, borders, and cottage-style gardens, while also attracting butterflies and pollinators. Easy to grow and care for, it’s a reliable choice for long-lasting seasonal display.
