| Description | Sisyrinchium
Devon Skies is a special ground cover that creates a magical carpet of little blue flowers in Spring-Summer.
While its foliage has a grass-like look, and it is often known as Blue-eye Grass, it is actually a bulb closely related to the Iris. Devon Skies grows well in pots, and is also is perfect for rockeries.
This plant enjoys being in full sun to part shade, and once established is both drought and frost hardy.
Grows approximately H: 15cm W: 30cm | Agonis flexuosa 'Burgundy'
Agonis Burgundy is a small attractive tree with a beautiful weeping habit which bears white clusters of long lasting flowers.
Its foliage is probably the most spectacular feature as it has dark burgundy coloured leaves. The leaves are aromatic when crushed. | Liriodendron tulipifera
The Tulip Tree is a beautiful tall tree with large leaves that have a lovely shape and smooth soft texture. A fast growing deciduous hardwood tree.
Tulip trees have striking yellow-green orange flecked coloured flowers. They are solitary flowers that sit in the extreme-most upper branches. The flowers resemble tulips, hence the name.
For an avenue we recommend planting these trees 7m apart or for a screen 3m apart. | Ophiopogan japonicas

You simply choose the right height plant for your needs to create a dense, rich, glossy green border that never needs trimming.
Tall Mondo Grass grows to 9-10 inches long and spreads quickly to create a dense evergreen border with a soft look that compliments many gardens. | Lonicera nitida

Their rich strap like leaves form a very full and attractive border, which spreads quickly & gives the feeling of luxuriance. Bongo Borders Liriope are a Liriope gigantea (Giant Liriope) that go well with all kinds of garden styles. Use them as a tall to medium border in a series of layered borders.

BoxOz Lonicera is the best plant with which to create your perfect hedge or border as it grows quickly and once your hedge has developed its easy to maintain with only a few trimmings a year. New shoots are soft and easy to cut and trimming is an effortless relaxing experience.
Some traditional hedging plants grow only an inch or two a year. BoxOz Lonicera will produce a calf high border in under twelve months, a knee high hedge in around 18 months, and a waist high hedge in 30 months. Almost any soil is suitable, as long as it is not too swampy. Fertilise your BoxOz Lonicera occasionally with a complete fertiliser, and water as required. |
