Description

Prostanthera hybrid

Poorinda Ballerina Mint Bush is a dense native shrub, reaching heights of approximately 1.5 m in height with fragrant, oval foliage and masses of showy creamy white flowers in spring. Frost tolerant and drought resistant. 6"/14cm pot size.

Luma apiculata

Myrtus Luma is the medium to tall hedge with real traditional style. A lot of people believe the only fast growing larger hedge with fine foliage is the Pittosporum. It is an extraordinarily versatile plant suitable for hedging, screening, topiary, or as a specimen tree, but its small, aromatic leaves respond so well to pruning that it is commonly used as a hedge. Myrtus luma also makes a wonderful specimen tree if left unpruned. With age it forms an outstanding trunk with cinnamon brown branches. Its bark peels to reveal streaks of pink and beige. What a plant! It really should be seen more in Australian gardens.

Cercis chinensis 'Avondale'

'Avondale' Redbud are an erect feature tree or shrub with a rounded habit and feature heart shaped foliage. It is a very showy variety with dark pink flowers. 'Avondale' is a gorgeous small feature tree, ideal for large pots or suburban garden. Water well in the summer or periods of prolonged dry. See our Cercis Factsheet here for more about the different Cercis varieties!
