Description	Hydrangea macrophylla 'Saturn' Saturn hydrangea is a ‘mop head’ form with bi-color umbels.  It is part of the ‘Star Line’ selection form Europe.  Each sepal has a deep crimson centre with a thick white margin.  Like most of the mop heads the color can be changed by creating an acidic soil. Saturn like most Hydrangeas are tolerant of most frosts and coastal conditions.  They will grow in full sun but need to be kept well watered and prefer part shade to filtered sun.  Plants can be dead headed when finished flowering but if in heavy frost areas it is best to leave the flowers on until late winter. It likes a good feed with Osmocote in spring.  If the bush requires a prune, remove the oldest stems from the base and allow the new young ones to grow away.  Saturn grows to around 1m high and produces masses of flowers in mid summer. 6'' pot	Ficus microcarpa var. nitida Common names: Chinese Banyan, Malayan Banyan or Indian Laurel Fig. A hardy evergreen ficus plants and are the number one choice for standardizing. The soft, white bark contrasts beautifully against the exuberant, glossy green foliage, making a feature out of your pleached hedge or standard topiary. It can tolerate a wide range of soils from clay to sandy, preferring a rich, moist loam in which it would thrive. They grow best in full sun to part shade and produce no flowers, making it a no mess hedging option! Ficus roots are known to be quite vigorous, but can be controlled by keeping the foliage and head of the plant trimmed, roughly 2-4 times a year. They are best planted away from water pipes, easements and pools to avoid any root issues.
