Marguerite Sunjay
Argyranthemum frutescens 'Sunjay'
A Federation Daisy with fantastic lemon-yellow flowers, creating new opportunities for colour coordination. In flower from early spring and into summer. Sunjay is ideal for patio pots & in the garden. Needs full sun, protect from frosts. Grows 60 x 60cm.
A handsome New Zealand native that will enhance a sheltered spot in many gardens. It has large, 30-40cm leaves, glossy and bold. When young the bush has a single stem, branching with age to form a bushy broad-topped specimen.
An outstanding variegated Pohutukawa with bright crimson flowers over summer. The species hails from the Kermadec Islands. It's a great specimen tree for smaller sections, while in larger gardens it lends itself to mass planting. Once established it'll handle a wide range of conditions and is particularly coastal tolerant.
An excellent garden, tub and patio plant with lots of flower and foliage colour. Brilliant red flowers burst from conspicuous red buds from late autumn through to spring. As leaves mature they change from silvery-green to a grey silver providing a stunning contrast to the flowers.
A smaller and showy form of our native Pohutukawa, valuable as a specimen tree for smaller city sections, while in larger and country gardens it lends itself to mass planting - it'd look great as a driveway avenue feature. Once established it'll handle a wide range of conditions and is particulary coastal tolerant.
Arguably our most spectacular native herbaceous plant. Dormant in winter in colder districts, spring sees rapid growth of showy, shiny, veined, bright green leaves that are soon followed by intense blue flowers in large pyramidal heads up to 15cm wide. Very showy and a sight that will not disappoint.
A standout foliage shrub with intensely coloured leaves in hues of dark-red, bronze and black - an effect that makes Black Beauty one of the most effective texture, background and indoor-foliage-display shrubs that we've seen. Colour's intensified in winter, and is encouraged by regular clipping and picking for indoor work.
Stunning winter foliage and a pleasently lush summer appearence easy care with a nice and tidy dwarf growth habit.An ideal container plant or low hedge or just as a specimen in the border this plant will please.Vibrant leaf colour intensifying in winter. 75 x 60cm.
Rounded shrub with tidy compact habit. Leaves are initially yellow and green tones, but darken to a dramatic red as the weather cools through autumn and into winter.
Rakino's our preferred garden choice providing both ornamental and fruiting benefits. It's a shapely, small, open, tree suitable for both inland and coastal situations. A prolific summer fruiter, its flavoursome fruit is ideal for preserving. Try mixing with other handsome evergreen fruiting plants such as Meyer lemon and Feijoa.
