Marguerite Sugar Cheer (Cobeer)
Argyranthemum frutescens 'Sugar Cheer (Cobeer)'
Sugar Cheer's one of the finest Federation Daisies. It has fully double deep-rose-pink flowers when new, fading to softer hues. Likes a sunny well-drained spot and a light clip mid-season for a second flowering. Protect from all but light frost. Grows 50x75cm.
Summit Pink has gorgeous single pink flowers with a pronounced yellow centre. Main flowering times are spring and autumn with the occasional flush at other times of the year. Plant in a sunny spot with good drainage. Protect from harsh frosts. Grows 50x60cm.
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.
A picture in our bush from February to early winter, the rata vine can be seen scrambling and twining over logs and up trees. In the wild, the vine will spread to 10m or more, but these new forms are propagated from adult foliage and form a rounded bush around a metre tall.
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.
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.
A stunning rich, smokey, dark-grey dwarf flax, with leaf undersides in a distinct silvery blue. It holds its colour well and foliage weeps to form a stylish clump; at home in garden or pot - where it grows quickly to fill a spot or gap. Bold summer flowers attract native birds.
