Magnolia Little Gem
Magnolia grandiflora 'Little Gem'
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.
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.
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.
An attractive and useful evergreen shrub. Small holly like leaves bear small delightly fragrant flowers in late Winter early Spring. Favouring slightly acid soils but adaptable to most well drained soils in sun or shade. Superb specimen or container plant. 1.5 X 1 metre.
A superb coastal garden plant, native to the South Island's Marlborough coastline, and able to withstand the poorest and roughest of conditions. In summer it has beautiful daisy-like flowers with yellow centres. And all year round it has glossy deep-green leaves with grey felt-like undersides.
