| Description | Calathea makoyana
Peacock produces leaves which are show stoppers! They have interesting toothed or wavy margins combined with contrasting light and dark markings. This indoor plant can be a little tricky to grow but it is well worth it. Performs best in warm climates. This plant needs to be not overly wet or dry, just constantly moist.
Please call to confirm availability (03) 9359 3331 or place your order before attending the nursery to avoid disappointment. | Armeria maritima 'Alba'
Armeria maritima forms clumps of strap-like leaves, with the white pompom flowers on tall stems continuing to produce from spring to summer, providing the dead flower heads are removed. These are natives of seaside cliffs so are both wind and salt tolerant but do need full sun. Excellent for cottage gardens and they also make good cut blooms too. A light sprinkle of fertiliser in spring is all thats required to keep this self sufficient perennial healthy.
Approx mature height 15cm x 30cm wide | Ulmus parvifolia
The bark of the Chinese Elm is a real stand out feature, as the tree sheds it in patches, creating the effect of a tapestry of varying browns and greys. Foliage is lush, shiny and green, and the tree is semi deciduous, turning golden in autumn, and keeping its leaves in warmer areas. It has also been noted by many Aussie gardeners in recent years that native birds enjoy the fruit of the Chinese Elm. | Prunus salicina
The Satsuma is a blood plum that produces a gorgeous red plum with firm but juicy, dark red flesh. Great for fresh eating and also ideal for stewing, the Satsuma is partially self-pollinating, but we recommend growing it with a Santa Rosa for the best possible crop of fruit. | Callistemon "Candy Pink"
Candy Pink is a medium shrub that is incredibly adaptable. Its large flower spikes are a lovely dark pink colour and are borne in flushes virtually all year round after a flush of new growth happens.
Candy Pink requires low maintenance and is suitable for coastal gardens. It is drought resistant. Likes a position of full sunlight to light shade.
6" pot size. |
