| Description | Polygala myrtifolia x dalmaisiana
Polygala Dazzler is a shrub that originates from South Africa and has attractive, almost year round, purple pea-like flowers on light green foliage. It makes a great flowering hedge.
Polygala Dazzler prefers a well-drained position, but tolerates poor soils, frost and dry conditions. Pruning in early Spring will encourage bushiness and flowers. Best feed regularly with a slow release fertiliser.
10" pot size. | Ficus obliqua 'Figaro'
'Figaro' is the naturally compact, low growing form of Ficus. This evergreen little shrub produces thick, glossy green leaves and minimal to no flowers in the cooler climates. It is incredibly hardy once established, even tolerating frosts and coastal conditions whilst maintaining its tropical look.
