| Description | Cotinus coggygria, Smoketree
Purple Smoke Bush is a gem in the garden thanks to it's unique blend of colours that change throughout the seasons. A large deciduous shrub or small tree, its beautiful eye-catching Spring foliage is green overlaid with purple. Summer brings deep purple foliage that then turns deep orange and bronze in a burst of glory for an Autumn show.
Purple Smokebush gets its name from the clouds of smoke-like purple and pink "flowers" it produces in early Summer. These are very beautiful themselves, and are prized along with the foliage by florists. Grows best in full sun to partial shade and it is tolerant of drought and most soils, making it a great addition to many gardens. | Magnolia grandifora
Magnolia 'Big Gem™️' is a lusciously large evergreen Magnolia. The leaves are large and pointed with less gloss than other Magnolias. Along with the large leaves are gorgeously bright, white and heavily fragrant big flowers in the warmer months. They are quite hardy trees, tolerating most soil and weather conditions and make wonderful feature hedges, large shade trees or specimen plants.

8"/20cm pot | Lagerstroemia indica 'Acoma'
'Acoma' Crepe Myrtle is a spectacular, small, deciduous tree that has appealing drooping clusters of pure white flowers. These flowers have an extra long bloom time. Its attractive peeling bark adds some interest during Winter.
'Acoma' Crepe Myrtle is best placed in a full sunlight position. Little watering is required once it is established. Grows to approximately 3.5m x 3.5m, smaller than many other varieties.
If you're looking for a larger white-flowered crepe myrtle, we recommend Natchez. | Feijoa sellowiana 'Pineapple guava'
Feijoas are a fairly small evergreen tree with short oval shaped leaves, soft green on top and silvery underneath. Additional to the fruit they yield, they make great specimen trees or can be planted close together for screening and hedging.
Following bright red and white flowers, the Feijoa or Pineapple Guava will produce aromatic fruits around the size of an egg that remain green when ripe. They have perfumed pale cream flesh and their taste is a blend of pineapple and strawberry. |
