| Description | Strelitzia reginaeExotic blue and orange flowers in the shape of a bird give this plant its name, Bird of Paradise. • Tropical looking broad round leaves • Looks great in pots, along fence lines and in poolside gardens • Tolerates drought, light frost and poor soils | Syzygium australeGrow a thick, bushy hedge in no time. What you do behind it is your business! • Thick, glossy green hedging with red tinged new growth • Australian native • Easy to maintain and fast growing 3"/7cm pot | Citrus reticulataMediterranean Sweet Orange is a large growing citrus, that produces medium sized sweet and juicy fruit with few seeds. The thin skin and flesh are a pale orange colour. It produces a large quantity fruit from July to August. Grows to approximately 6-8m in height. Likes a full sun, well drained position. | Callistemon sieberi Sugar Candy dazzles with its delightful candy-pink brushes, brimming with nectar, and attracts honeyeaters from near and far. This striking shrub puts on a fantastic show in early spring and again in late summer, proudly standing tall. It's an excellent choice as a standout feature plant, and it works beautifully for both formal and informal hedging. The new leaf growth is a lovely silvery hue, adding its own charm to the display. You can shape the plants as you wish through pruning, but if you prefer a more relaxed look, simply give them a light trim after the flowers fade and nourish them with a low-phosphorus fertiliser suitable for Australian plants. | Luma apiculataMyrtus Luma is the medium to tall hedge with real traditional style. A lot of people believe the only fast growing larger hedge with fine foliage is the Pittosporum. It is an extraordinarily versatile plant suitable for hedging, screening, topiary, or as a specimen tree, but its small, aromatic leaves respond so well to pruning that it is commonly used as a hedge. Myrtus luma also makes a wonderful specimen tree if left unpruned. With age it forms an outstanding trunk with cinnamon brown branches. Its bark peels to reveal streaks of pink and beige. What a plant! It really should be seen more in Australian gardens. | ||
| Content | [one_half] [/one_half] [one_half_last padding ="0 0 0 20px"] Bird of Paradise are native to South Africa, and are very hardy and can be grown in full sun to part shade. They get their name from their exotic blue/orange flowers that resemble the head of a colourful tropical bird. Bird of Paradise have large, lush foliage and look great when used in rockeries and interplanted with yuccas and agaves. Great for creating a tropical feel in the garden. We refer to these as "Flowering Bird of Paradise" or Strelitzia Bird of Paradise (a bit of a mouthful that comes from their botanical name) because there is another variety of Bird of Paradise called Giant Bird of Paradise. These have much bigger leaves, are taller growing, and are often planted together with Flowering Bird of Paradise to create a multi-layered, tropic garden effect even as far south as Melbourne. [/one_half_last] | Neighbours-Be-Gone Trees can be used to create tall screens, large hedges and large topiary. They can be planted in pots or confined areas. Although they have the potential to grow into large trees, their size can be contained by regular clipping. The trunk and roots only grow to serve the needs of the crown of the tree, so the trunk and root system will remain small, while the tree is being kept small by regular trimming. Neighbours-Be-Gone Trees are a long living tree that don’t become woody or sick from long-term regular pruning. A well maintained Neighbours-Be-Gone Tree hedge or topiary can last for many decades.
