Golden Diosma is one of the most popular garden shrubs. It has fine, small bright green-gold foliage which darkens in summer. Fragrant flowers and leaves release a beautiful scent when brushed past.
6''/14cm pot | Ficus elastica 'Melany' Rubber plant
A stunning plant that has very glossy leaves which are greenish burgundy in colour. It is more compact than other varieties of rubber plants. The glossy, dark burgundy leaves grow inside a sheath which grows larger as the new leaf develops. When the leaf matures it will unfurl, dropping the sheath off the plant. A wonderful indoor houseplant that is simple to care for.

'St Mary' is a a wider growing variety of Mangolia tree with large, shiny, apple green foliage. During the warmer months it produces the magnificent, large single white lemony scented flowers.
'St Mary' Magnolias are a hardy tree, tolerating most soil conditions. They are low maintenance, rarely needing a prune to keep in shape and are relatively pest and disease free!
