| Description | 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. | Convolvulus cneorum
Contrasting foliage makes Convolvulus Silver Bush a striking feature in the garden.
• Slender silver foliage with bright, white cupped flowers
• Low growing, only 40cm high and round
• A beautiful addition to a cottage, low maintenance or potted garden | Cycas revoluta
Sago Palms are wonderfully tough little palms, growing strong in the tough climate and soils of Victoria.
• Very slow growing.
• Thin, fern-like foliage, sprouting from the centre
• Can be grown in pots, suitable for modern or tropical gardens | Correa alba
A popular choice amongst council and parks landscapers due to its set-and-forget nature, the Correa is a attractive, hardy and versatile perennial shrub.
• White star-shaped flowers with rounded, velvety leaves
• Will grow in both full sun or part shade, tolerating harsh Australian soil and weather
• Responds well to pruning, making neat hedges or even native topiary |
