| Description | Salvia "Hot Lips" is a small bushy perennial that puts out a lot of pretty bicolor blooms in white and lipstick red (hence the name) from mid Summer to mid-Autumn. The foliage has a delicious blackcurrant scent when you crush it or brush past.
They are known to mutate because of various conditions such as heat, which makes them produce either all white, or all red flowers, and sometimes an uneven mix of both.
Gross to about 60cm wide by 80cm high, and likes full sun.
6" pot size. | Syzygium Australe "Winter Lights"
This is a Dwarf Lilly Pilly produces bright red new foliage and attractive glossy green leaves. It is also Psyllid resistant and is compact for hedging and topiary. Reaches heights from 3 to 5 metres tall when unpruned, it can be pruned to the desired size. At its best in moist soil rich in organic matter where growth is fast, but can be used in a wide range of soils. Thrives in full sun to part shade. Displays fluffy white flowers in Spring which attract birds.
A dwarf tree is just like its normal counterpart, except that it has been grafted onto a special rootstock that causes it to remain compact. The innovation of dwarf trees allows you to grow the variety in small spaces, or grow several different varieties where you may only have room for one normal tree.
6" pot size. | Indigofera australis
Australian Indigo is a lovely ornamental shrub which is also a good plant for wildlife, being a good nectar and food source for butterflies. It will flower through Spring, with spires of pink to purple blooms. Growing to around 2 metres tall and wide, it can take neglect and some frost and drought. The foliage and stems can be used for natural dyes, and give a soft yellow colour. Great for low maintenance gardens. Drought tolerant.

'Sensation™' Lavender have been specially bred to tolerate heat and humidity and perform well in most areas of Australia. The grey-green foliage is highly aromatic.
