A low growing hairy grey leafed red-margined hebe that carries white flowers in November and on into January. Hardy little grower forming a small rounded bush in a sunny well drained site. 35x35cm.
Hebe Waireka
Hebe francisana 'Waireka'
Hardy, evergreen and colourful all year round. This is a high contrast shrub with glossy leaves with green centres edged in cream and silver. From spring right through until autumn the bush features delicious light purple brush-shaped flowers. One of the very best hebes around for a spot of all-year colour.
This one's something really special. Its grey-green leaves are heavily margined in a creamy white and have contrasting purple stems, most prominent near the growing tips. If that's not enough, we're rewarded again with a summer flush of bright mauve-blue flowers. A landscape winner.
Sidonie's something different when it comes to lavenders. It's free flowering, quick-growing and with Australian origins, tolerant of more humidity than many others. Its showy forked flowers are held atop long stems, and their blue-purple colouring is iridescent, especially during winter and spring. Its fragrance is also different - fresh and novel.
An Australian native that has reddish stems and dark coppery-red leaves; great for background colour and form in both garden and vase. In summer, 2cm white flowers with yellow centres smother the bush - so dense they give the impression of the bush being 'snow-topped'.
There are times when the bright, yellow and deep pink variegated foliage of Leucadendron ‘Jester’ is just magic; in winter, for example, when the colours are at their brightest and boldest. This is a shrub for the adventurous gardener looking for plants with a difference to make the garden fun and full of character.
An upright grower that's especially good as a cutflower where its bracts hold well in a vase. Plant in a sunny and well-drained spot and trim late spring each year to retain shape and promote next year's growth.`Sulphur yellow bracts are formed spring through summer. 2.5 x 1.5 metre.
Ligularia Britt-Marie Crawford
Ligularia dentata 'Britt-Marie Crawford'
Fantastic black and mahogany lacquered foliage. Yellow flowers mid to late summer. Happy in full sun-part shade in rich moisture retentive soil which does not dry out. Dies down in winter before erupting again the following spring. Grows 60x60cm.
A great garden plant to provide year round interest with rich burgundy leaves and bright pink and tasseled flowers late in winter and through spring. As the leaves mature they take on an olive-bronze hue and have a rough leathery texture, providing year round landscape appeal.
One of the most impressive plants we've seen. Its glossy green leaves have velvet bronze undersides and provide a unique look year round. In summer large fragrant creamy white flowers impress. A mid-size columnar tree that's at home in a large patio planter when young, and as a grand garden specimen.
