An evergreen perennial that flowers its heart out from spring to summer. It grows rapidly to form a multi-branched bush with grey-green leaves.

Feijoa Wundervoll

Feijoa sellowiana 'Wundervoll'

Wondervoll’s versatility impresses - it’s great as a screen, a hedge, or a lawn specimen tree and has the bonus of autumn fruit. It grows quickly to form a bushy tree with olive-green leaves, and late summer brings red flowers, followed by oval green fruit. Fruit yield is enhanced by planting in groups, and adequate summer water. Grows 3 x 2 metres.

Gazania Takatu Red

Gazania splendens 'Takatu Red'

Gorgeous! Dazzling! Brilliant! - just three of the exclamations we've had from nursery visitors to the large, deep-red flowers of this top class gazania. The contrast between petals and the dark sensuous centre has to be seen to be appreciated. It flowers freely and over a long period from early in spring.
