Description

Callistemon 

Candy Pink is a medium shrub that is incredibly adaptable. Its large flower spikes are a lovely dark pink colour and are borne in flushes virtually all year round after a flush of new growth happens. Candy Pink requires low maintenance and is suitable for coastal gardens. It is drought resistant. Likes a position of full sunlight to light shade. 8" pot size.

Protea neriifolia

Protea 'Limelight' is an eye-catching variety of Protea neriifolia, known for its soft lime-green flower heads edged with feathery black-tipped bracts. Blooming through autumn and winter, the flowers contrast beautifully with the plant’s slender grey-green foliage. Ideal as a feature plant, hedge, or cut flower, 'Limelight' offers bold colour, texture, and structure to low-maintenance gardens.
  • Mature Size: Approx. 1.5–2m tall x 1–1.5m wide
  • Flowering Season: Autumn to winter
  • Uses: Feature plant, cut flowers, native gardens, screening, wildlife habitat
6" / 14 cm pot

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.
