Munstead Lavender is a dwarf-rounded bush with aromatic grey-green foliage. It produces dense spikes of aromatic beautiful tiny purple to violet flowers during summer. These are lighter in colour than Hidcote Lavender, and the plant grows slightly larger.
8" pot size | Magnolia grandiflora
An evergreen beauty with elegance and class, the 'Super Gem' Magnolia is a newer, compact growing form of the Little Gem Magnolia.
Hand-sized white and heavily fragrant flowers against robust, dark green foliage make this plant a favourite for hedging and feature planting.
Tolerating poor soils, heat and frost, they are an ideal plant for the Melbourne and rural Victorian garden.
