| Description | Petunia hybrida
Night Sky produces one of the most distinctive blooms you’ve ever seen. It displays a stunning colour pattern of deep purple with white varying flecks creating the effect of a starry night sky.
Night Sky has a mounded trailing habit that loves full sun and will bloom from Spring through to late Summer. Works perfectly in garden beds, containers and hanging baskets. | Angophora costata
The Smooth Barked Apple is an attractive Australian native tree, best loved for its peeling salmon pink to pale grey bark. Foliage is curved and waxy with older green leaves contrasting with red new growth on twisted upper branches. Small white flowers are borne in mass in Spring, leading to small gum nuts that are not problematic for lawnmowers.
The Rose Gum/Smooth Barked Apple is a stately shade tree, commonly planted in parks, avenues and used in mass plantings. Very useful for sandy, dry areas. | Sarcococca confusa
Sweet Box is a bushy evergreen with glossy leaves that is perfect for medium to low hedges but not as well known and used as it should be. During Winter, fine and delicate, sweetly scented, creamy flowers appear followed by shiny black berries. Sweet Box has shiny, deep green, foliage and this variety usually only grows to a maximum height of around 4ft. Unless you want a tightly clipped formal hedge or border, it needs very little trimming.
Sweet Box likes a position of both full sunlight and part shade in a sheltered location. If your hedge travels under a shady spot, try Sweet Box - it is quite happy in shade! It should be ideally planted in moist, well draining soil.
