| Description | Buxus sempervirens suffruticosa
A glossy green, rounded leaf box hedging plant
• Used for low to medium hedging and topiary
• Planted in the garden, along borders, pathways and in pots
• Tolerates shady positions | Cordyline banksii
Electric Star is a compact, clump forming Cordyline that doesn’t develop a bare single stemmed trunk. This variety generates multiple shoots to form a clump of green and chocolate striped foliage. Electric Star only grows to 1.2 m in height. These grows fantastically in both full sunlight and partial shade. These work well in pots or mass planted. | Magnolia hybrid
The deciduous tree stands out for its robust growth and breathtaking floral display. Each early spring, it unveils large, fragrant flowers in a unique cup-and-saucer shape, measuring around 25-30 cm across, showcasing pristine white petals with a delicate pink blush at their base. With a broad and upright form, it can reach an impressive height and width of about 8 meters. This tree flourishes best in areas that receive full sun to partial shade and prefers rich, well-drained soil that is slightly acidic to neutral. In Melbourne's climate, choosing a sheltered spot will help protect its early blossoms from late frosts, ensuring a stunning spring show.
| Banksia marginata 'Silver Banksia'
A classic woody native Australian shrub, Banksias are great for a low maintenance garden and create interest with their recognizable flower cones. Silver Banksias will grow to the size of a large shrub and and good for screening. They're also great for coastal areas, as they're naturally found by the sea and tolerate sand and salt.
10" pot size. | Phoenix roebelenii 'Pygmy Date Palm'
Date Palms feature an interesting, classic palm trunk that forms and grows larger as it matures. They have a crown of elegant dark green lacy fronds cascading from the top of this. A mature Date Palm will reach 2-3 meters tall.
Old, dead fronds are best pruned off to expose the trunk as the tree ages and to keep it neat. The Date Palm is another good plant for creating a tropical feel in the garden which does well down South. |
| Content | If your looking for a small hedging plant then this is the one for you. Dutch Box is a dwarf box that grows with dense, glossy green foliage and works well in shaded areas.
Dutch Box also likes part shade in moist, well-drained soil, but will tolerate a wide range of soils and conditions. It should be clipped to maintain a formal shape.
Slight yellow discolouration of the leaves on Dutch box may occur during cooler months, but don't worry, this is normal! This is remedied by applying with Dolomite Lime, and a slow release fertilizer a month later. Or you can just leave your Dutch Box alone and it will come back lovely and green and spring.
