Callistemon citrinus 'Kings Park Special'

Callistemon Kings Park Special features narrow green leaves and deep red bottle-brush flowers that are grouped together in bunches, making a spectacular display in spring and autumn. Kings Park Special is one of the larger Callistemons, so it's great for a tall screen or feature tree. Like all callistemons, it's hardy and bird attracting.

Acacia covenyi 'Blue Bush Wattle'

A rarer form of Acacia, the 'Blue Bush Wattle' has long, blue-grey foliage unlike any other. The foliage alone is one of the main reasons this wattle is chosen for hedging or screening, making a gorgeous steel blue wall of hardy foliage. And in the spring it's flush with the iconic yellow pom-pom wattle flowers, contrasting vibrantly against the foliage.

To get the best flowering results, plant in full sun, but Blue Bush Wattle can grow well in part shade. They do not like soggy soils, so be sure to plant in a well drained position.
