| Description | Acer palmatum dissectum
Waterfall produces green foliage all Spring and Summer before bursting into passionate shades of yellow and orange in Autumn. The crown of this 6-8 ft tree is wide and low, resulting in a broad, slightly domed habit. It gets its name from the layers of branches that cascade softly toward the ground, resembling a waterfall!

The Banksia Rose is a tough evergreen climbing rose with soft ruffled yellow flowers which appear in Spring. Like Iceberg Roses, it's prized as a disease resistant and hardy rose. It works well as a groundcover rose or a climber when given a support such as a trellis.
The Banksia rose is an incredibly useful and versatile climber or groundcover as it is low maintenance, thornless and tolerates full sun and part shade.

Chervil, sometimes called garden chervil or French parsley, is a delicate annual herb related to parsley. This plant is a native to the Caucasus, which is a mountainous region between Turkey and Russia. Chervil was spread through Europe by the Romans, and is now naturalised. The plants can grow up to 70cm tall and 30cm wide, and produces small white flowers. This herb is referred to as gourmet's parsley, and is used particularly in France to season poultry, seafood, spring veg, soups and sauces. It has a faint taste of liquorice and aniseed. Chervil is one of the four French "fines herbes" which are essential to French cooking. The other three are tarragon, chives and parsley. Unlike stronger herbs like thyme and rosemary which can withstand long cooking times, these "fines herbes" are added at the last minute. Traditionally, chervil has had many medicinal uses. It has claimed to be used as a digestive aid, for lowering blood pressure, and used infused with vinegar for curing hiccups! It has also been used as a mild stimulant. It prefers a cool and moist location, and regular harvesting of leaves helps to prevent it rapidly going to seed, which will bring the plant to the end of its production. | Stachys byzantina (syn. lanata)

Soft Tree Fern is a very tough tree fern that is probably the best choice if you are looking for a reliable fern for a shady position in the garden. The beautiful fronds are produced throughout the warmer months of the year.
Once Soft Tree Fern gets fully established, it is also surprisingly capable of withstanding dry spells. The only maintenance required is the removal of dead and dying fronds once or twice a year and feeding with well rotted manure at the same time.
Grows approximately H:1.5 - 15 Meters W:1 - 2 Meters
