Description

Camellia japonica

Betty Riddley Camellia is an upright, evergreen large bush that features perfectly shaped formal pink flowers. It is hardy and frost tolerant. It flowers from late winter to spring, adding a touch of colour when the garden can be a little dull, and is ideal for screens, hedging, large containers and espaliers. Mature growth: 3x3m
Waterhousea floribunda  This Australian Native is also known as the Weeping Lilly Pilly due to its slightly drooping habit, which is visually very attractive. It is often used as a hedge/screen and responds well to pruning. Although often used as a hedge, it can also be planted as an evergreen tree. The height is often determined by the conditions, but untrimmed will reach at least 8m. It can easily grow in many soil types, is frost tolerant and also copes well with damp soils. It is fast growing and has a lovely, lush, compact foliage with the new growth a pink/rust colour adding contrast. 8"/20cm pot size We source our Waterhousia from Northern NSW as they have a warmer climate offering larger and bushier plants than those sourced locally, giving our customer better value for money. You may notice that the plants have some cosmetic psyllium damage that resemble bumps or blisters on some of the leaves. Rest assured our grower has sprayed the plants and there are no live psyllids remaining on them. Weeping Lilly Pillys are a popular choice with minimal berries and a lovely weeping evergreen habit, we know you will enjoy these plants . However if the cosmetic damage is something you are concerned about we can look to provide you alternative species that may also be of interest.

Lagerstroemia indica Diamonds in the Dark 'Blush'

Blush features flawless near-black foliage that emerges in early Spring, followed by masses of soft baby pink blooms that are displayed from Summer until first frost. This variety creates a wonderful vibrant display of colour. It’s compact growth habit makes it attractive as a flowering hedge or as a beautiful tree to line your driveway or fence. It is ideal for planting in decorative pots to place on your deck, porch or balcony.
