| Description | Pelargonium x hortorum Geranium
The ‘BIG’ series of Pelargoniums will bring bright impact to your garden! Large, doubled blooms present themselves atop mid-green, compact foliage, setting a neat, yet exciting scene for most of the year. Give your garden a cottage feel by using baskets to hang them from lattice, retaining walls, fences or pergolas. The thick, mid-green foliage keeps a semi-trailing habit which means they will cascade in hanging baskets, or stay low-growing in the garden.
6" pot size. | 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. | |
