| Description | Rhaphiolepis indica
Oriental Pearl is a compact, dense evergreen shrub that rarely grows to more than 1 metre high and 1 metre wide. It produces gorgeous fragrant, white flowers through autumn to late spring.
Oriental Pearl likes any well drained position. Makes a great seaside cottage plant.
Tip: If you are looking for an identical substitute, use Rhaphiolepis Spring Pearl. | Dracaena Draco
Dragon's Blood is an attractive evergreen tree that is commonly used as a house plant, but if planted in the ground will grow to a massive and broad tree. The ends of the thick branches hold bunches sword-shaped blue-green leaves. In early Summer appear the greenish-white flowers that are then followed by orange berries. Can be planted in either sun or shade, has low water needs and is drought tolerant. | Callistemon citrinus 'Kings Park Special'
Callistemon Kings Park Special features narrow green leaves and deep red bottle-brush flowers that are grouped together in bunches, making a spectacular display in spring and autumn. Kings Park Special is one of the larger Callistemons, so it's great for a tall screen or feature tree. Like all callistemons, it's hardy and bird attracting. |

The attractive glossy foliage is dark green in colour and contrasts well with the massed display of flowers. Grows in full sun to partial shade with best flowers produced in full sun. Hardy and adaptable to most soils but prefers enriched, well-drained soils and appreciates an application of chunky mulch. Resistant to salt spray, and once established (with early good watering) will withstand dry conditions for extended periods. Is heat and frost tolerant to a degree. Excellent choice for pots, low hedging, massed planting in shrubberies or around pools. | | |
