Description	Plectranthus caninus Dogbane is a perennial herb from the mint family, which grows to about 15cm high, 30cm when in flower. When crushed, leaves have a very strong aroma, however dogs and cats are said to be able to smell the aroma from intact leaves and be repelled from the plant. This herb is also know as "scaredy cat plant". This plant prefers full sun to part shade, but may need more shade in very hot areas. If there is too much shade the plant becomes "leggy" with less foliage. It's frost tender so it needs a warm protected position to protect it from frost and hot sun, it's not suited to open conditions. Water young plants regularly, and once established older plants will tolerate short dry periods. It flowers in spring and summer. And this plant is also recommended for use as an insect repellent.	Bambusa ventricosa (Buddha's Belly) Bamboo Buddha’s Belly Bamboo is a great bamboo variety for gardens. With shiny, smooth green bamboo stalks that feature bulbous "bellies" at intervals, it stays at a manageable height and is highly ornamental. It's named for these bulges, not it's height, and will only grow to 6 meters in ideal conditions. This bamboo is great as a screen or hedge. It's important to give Buddhas Belly a good amount of space to grow and to not plant it to close to any fences or buildings, at least 1m away. This bamboo is not to be confused with the 'Giant Buddha's Belly' (B. Vulgaris cv. Wamin). 8" pot size.
