| Description | Gaura lindheimeri "Butterfly Bush"
Butterfly Bush is a bushy, hardy perennial shrub with long graceful stems that bloom with pale pink flowers in spring-summer. These stems grow up to 1m long, but can be clipped back shorter, and sway gracefully in the breeze. The name of a popular variety, Whirling Butterflies, perfectly describes the way the plant resembles a cloud of butterflies when swaying in the breeze.

• Easy to maintain and fast growing | Boronia megastigma
Brown Boronia is a small shrub that reaches heights of around a meter, and while it can be short lived, it is worth growing for the beautifully perfumed flowers in Spring. The best garden growing conditions are in dappled shade, in moist but well drained soils, and it loves a cool root run, which can be ensured with a good layer of mulch.
6" pot size. | Betula pendula fastigiata - Pyramid Birch
Upright Silver Birch is a great specimen tree that is an upright growing birch as its name suggests, with branches that intertwine as they grow. The leaves go from green to a beautiful butter yellow in the autumn.
Upright Birch excels in full sun, and prefers a moist, well drained soil. Used either separate as a specimen tree or planted together as informal screening. Maximum height roughly 10 metres. | Lavandula angustifolia "Hidcote"
Hidcote Lavender is a dwarf bush with aromatic silver-green leaves bearing slender spikes of dark purple-blue flowers during spring and summer. The flowers are darker in colour than Munstead lavendar, and Hidcote does not grow as tall.
6" pot size, approximately 8-20cm in height. | Azalea 'Alba Magnifica'
Azalea Alba Magnifica (Magnificent White) is a white flowering evergreen azalea which puts on a nice show in Spring. A great easy to grow flowering border or small flowering shrub, these Azaleas also look great mass planted in a bed.
Azalea Alba Magnifica likes full sun or part shade, so it's also good for underplanting trees. |
| Content | | Ornamental pear trees are fast growing, tolerant of most soil types, including heavy and poor soils, and best of all they come in a range of shapes and sizes to suit your landscaping requirements.
Check out our Ornamental Pear Tree Factsheet for more info. | Neighbours-Be-Gone Trees can grow two or more metres per year once established. Neighbours-Be-Gone Trees have deep green, dense, fine foliage and copper red new growth and can grow two or more metres per year once established, and love to be clipped and shaped. They grow in full sun through to light shade and withstand mild frost, wind, heat and drought. They thrive in almost any soil including heavy wet and occasionally waterlogged soils.
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.
Neighbours-Be-Gone Trees are a select form of Acmena smithii and are exclusive to Hello Hello Plants. They were developed by Chris 20 years ago, and Neighbours Be Gone is actually a trademark that belongs to the Hello Hello group of companies.
Back in 2003 Chris was holidaying in Los Angeles and noticed that the most popular hedge was an Australian Native Lilly Pilly. At that time, the main hedge being grown in Melbourne was the Silver Sheen Pittosporum, and Lilly Pilly's were a product that was shipped down from Queensland. They were expensive, and many of the Queensland varieties did poorly in Victoria.
Chris decided to make a Lilly Pilly hedge that was tailor made for Melbourne. He chose a variety of Lilly Pilly that had been cultivated and had done well in Melbourne for the last 100 years. It grows all year round, is tough, drought tolerant and hedges beautifully. Now the "Neighbours Be Gone" is one of Melbourne's most popular hedges!
