| Description | Banksia ericifolia
A terrific hardy small shrub which can be used for low hedging and screening as well as a lovely feature plant, and does well in coastal gardens. It has attractive orange flowers with maroon styles and whitish perianth from winter through spring, and they are highly attractive to large and small honey eating birds and insects. It suits a wide range of conditions and soils, including dry and partly shaded spots, where it will still flower. It is a very easy care plant. It can also be pruned into a more dense shape, this is best done in autumn and after flowering. It is a more compact form of Banksia ericifolia. | Acacia covenyi 'Blue Bush Wattle'
A rarer form of Acacia, the 'Blue Bush Wattle' has long, blue-grey foliage unlike any other. The foliage alone is one of the main reasons this wattle is chosen for hedging or screening, making a gorgeous steel blue wall of hardy foliage. And in the spring it's flush with the iconic yellow pom-pom wattle flowers, contrasting vibrantly against the foliage.
To get the best flowering results, plant in full sun, but Blue Bush Wattle can grow well in part shade. They do not like soggy soils, so be sure to plant in a well drained position.
6"/14cm pot | Pittosporum tenuifolium
Hole in One is a variegated version of the very popular dwarf growing Pittosporum Golf Ball. A small rounded shrub needing very little pruning to maintain a rounded shape and small size, the variegated foliage gives the plants a silver sheen. Prefers a full sun to part shade position. Ideal for screening and hedges. |
