| Description | Casuarina glauca
Casuarina Cousin It is a dense ground cover with a cascading habit; aptly named after the very popular Adams family character- the foliage flows over anything! Great for rockeries or spilling down embankments and over the side of pots, and will flow over rocks and hillocks creating spectacular effects. A very easy care plant that does well in a wide range of soil types. The dense foliage will deter weed growth, adding to the low maintenance aspect.
8"/20cm pot size. | Choisya ternata
Mexican Orange Blossom is so named as it's flowers are of a similar nature and scent to an orange tree! The foliage is a golden and is covered with masses of scented white flowers through Spring and Summer.
This attractive shrub will grow to approx. 1.5 - 2m, but is happy to be clipped to suit. As a result it can be also used as a hedge or screen. It is best grown in full sun or part shade and is reasonably frost tolerant.
