Description

Brachychiton acerifolius 

The Illawarra Flame Tree is known for its stunning display of bright red flowers that cover the whole bare tree in late Spring. While it's an Aussie native, it is now grown all over the world for its beauty.

The Illawarra Flame Tree is only fully deciduous in the northern parts of Australia, where it drops its leaves in the dry season. Plant Flame Trees with Jacarandas for a colour explosion.

Xanthorrhoea johnsonii 'Johnson's Grass Tree'

This iconic Australian plant occurs naturally from Queensland to north east NSW. Slow growing to around 5 metres tall, it has a tuft of long thin leaves, and in old specimens this grows atop a thick trunk. They love a well drained soil in full sun to lightly dappled shade. In heavier soil it is advisable to build up raised beds for better drainage. They flower from autumn to summer with dramatic tall spears of small white flowers which are nectar rich. 20" pot size.
