| Description | Callistemon "Candy Pink"
Candy Pink is a medium shrub that is incredibly adaptable. Its large flower spikes are a lovely dark pink colour and are borne in flushes virtually all year round after a flush of new growth happens.
Candy Pink requires low maintenance and is suitable for coastal gardens. It is drought resistant. Likes a position of full sunlight to light shade.
6" pot size. | Plectranthus plepalila
Mona Lavender (Spur flower) is an attractive plant that does not spread like other members of the family, but forms a neat shrub with an upright, erect habit. Numerous spikes of white-coloured flowers begin to appear from late Summer through Autumn complementing the ornamental foliage of deep green leaves with dark purple coloured undersides. This fast-growing plant is best placed in a full sun to part shade location.
| Lonicera nitida
Fast growing, fine leaf box hedging and topiary plant with a defined edge.

| Content | | | BoxOz Lonicera has been specially developed by Chris, and is our exclusive hedging plant. It has a deeper green foliage, a denser finish and more clearly defined shape than the traditional English Box.
BoxOz Lonicera is the best plant with which to create your perfect hedge or border as it grows quickly and once your hedge has developed its easy to maintain with only a few trimmings a year. New shoots are soft and easy to cut and trimming is an effortless relaxing experience.
Some traditional hedging plants grow only an inch or two a year. BoxOz Lonicera will produce a calf high border in under twelve months, a knee high hedge in around 18 months, and a waist high hedge in 30 months. Almost any soil is suitable, as long as it is not too swampy. Fertilise your BoxOz Lonicera occasionally with a complete fertiliser, and water as required. |
