| Description | Camellia japonica
Japonica varieties of Camellia are best suited to shady areas so that their foliage does not burn. They will be fine in morning sun, but not hot afternoon sun, and protect from high winds.
Odoratissima Camellia has dark green, glossy, evergreen leaves and from early winter to spring it will show gorgeous fluffy, fragrant blooms of red with yellow centres. Upright growth, perfect for screens and hedging, formal gardens, pot plants and more. Water and mulch well. It will reach 3-4m. | Philodendron "Xanadu"
Xanadu has beautiful, glossy foliage that gives a tropical feel to its surroundings. This variety is more profuse then most.
Xanadu is a slow growing evergreen that reaches heights of 2-3ft and a similar sized spread. Excellent for use in borders and garden beds.

The Cut-Leaf Birch is a very graceful tree with distinctive feathery foliage and fine white bark. It is slender and graceful enough to be a part of a small garden without appearing too dominant, and is also effective in larger areas planted alone or in groups. A moderate growing and medium sized tree, ideal for either a small garden setup or even a larger forest-like vista, this tree will grow well in most soils in a sunny to part shade position. A beautiful specimen tree not to be looked over!
