Description	Iresine herbstii Native to Brazil, Bloodleaf or Beefsteak plant is known for its stunning ornamental foliage Bloodleaf will provide a spectacular show of foliage colour throughout the season. Leaf colour varies from a dark purple to beet red with magenta veins. They can be used as an excellent accent or border plant and look their best in light shade. Can also be used as a potted plant in temperate areas and a border plant in subtropical and tropical areas. Approximately 1 – 1.5m high and 1m wide.	Buxus microphylla  Korean Box is a fantastic compact shrub with long but finer leaves than most buxus. It's foliage is a bright green long oval shape with gloss. It is one of the lowest growing buxus and so is ideal for box hedging, however it can tend to turn yellow in full sun, so it will prefer a part shade/filtered light position. Korean box is one of the slower growing varieties and is great in pots or as topiary's. This plant has a moderate growth rate that grows to approximately 50-60cm in height. Plant every 20cm - 5 per meter for an optimum hedge.
