| Description | Ligustrum vulgare 'European/Wild Privet'
European Privet is an semi-evergreen shrub used for instant low to medium hedging. It produces small white flowers that then turn into little black berries. It can be trimmed to create formal box hedging and topiary's or lightly trimmed for a dense, green garden filler. Can also be kept in pots and planter boxes.
It also tolerates a wide variety of soils and conditions from full sun to part shade, sandy, loam or clay soils. It prefers a sunny position with well drained soil for optimum performance.
6" pot size | Banksia integrifolia
Banksia integrifolia or ‘Coastal Banksia’ is a hardy native found down the Eastern coastline of Australia. Often seen in windswept and sculptural shapes along beach fronts, when placed in a less hostile environment, they can become quite beautiful, bushy specimen plants. They grow anywhere between 4m - 10m and 1m - 5m wide, depending on their environment. During autumn and winter their yellow flowers form into large cones, rich with nectar. These stunning flowers attract lots of bird life, particularly cockatoos and honey-eaters. Coastal Banksia is a slow grower and can handle a wide range of soil types.
10" pot size. | Coprosma repens
Coprosmas are evergreen shrubs grown for their colourful foliage, which turns even more vibrant in the winter, so you can still have stunning colour through the barer months. They are ideal for hedging, borders, colour contrasts for any garden and pots. Suitable for coastal conditions and frost, they enjoy both full sun and part shade. This makes them great for underplanting trees like magnolias or ornamental pears. Coprosma "Evening Glow" is a multi-coloured variety that has a mixture of red, pink, green, gold and dark purple all on the one leaf.
