| Description | Ficus microcarpa hillii 'Flash'
One of the fastest no mess hedges, Ficus 'Flash' are chosen for their rapid growth, lavish green foliage and high tolerance of poor conditions. These gorgeous Australian natives produce no flowers and seeds therefore no mess! And their upright, dense habit lends them to being used as not just solid hedging but as topiary, standards and pleached hedging.
10''/25cm pot
| Ficus pumila variegata
Creeping/Climbing Ficus 'Ice Caps' has crinkly, heart-shaped variegated juvenile leaves on a tracery of fine stems which adhere closely to its support. When the plant matures it starts to produce large, leathery adult foliage on horizontal, woody branches. Mature plants also produce yellowish-green, inedible figs. The Ice Caps fig is very hardy and drought tolerant once established. Prune to control rampant growth and to remove horizontal branches which stand out from the support and produce unattractive adult foliage.
5''/12.5cm pot | Coleonema pulchellum aurea
Golden Diosma is one of the most popular garden shrubs. It has fine, small bright green-gold foliage which darkens in summer. Fragrant flowers and leaves release a beautiful scent when brushed past.
6''/14cm pot | Acmena smithii 'Sublime'
