Description

Michelia figo 

This magnolia features small shiny deep-green leaves, with heavily scented purple and cream magnolia-style flowers in spring. It is sometimes called the Banana Shrub as the flowers have a banana-like fragrance. The Port Wine Magnolia is known for its highly fragrant perfume when in flower, particularly at night. Usually evergreen, but can be slightly deciduous in very cold areas and is usually frost tolerant.

Pittosporum tenuifolium

Another fantastic variety of Pittosporum, fast growing hedging or screening plant. Golden sheen features golden and green wavy leaves and black stems. Requires a full sun to part shade position for best results. Mature growth: 3m

Brachychiton acerifolius 

The Illawarra Flame Tree is known for its stunning display of bright red flowers that cover the whole bare tree in late Spring. While it's an Aussie native, it is now grown all over the world for its beauty.

The Illawarra Flame Tree is only fully deciduous in the northern parts of Australia, where it drops its leaves in the dry season. Plant Flame Trees with Jacarandas for a colour explosion.
