Wisteria sinensis 

Wisteria sinensis 'Jako' is an enchanting vine that bursts with fragrant, white flowers each spring. Its stunning, cascading clusters fill the air with their delightful scent. This vigorous plant thrives best on solid structures like pergolas, walls, or trellises, and loves to bask in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. For the best chance of future blooms, be sure to prune it after flowering. 8"/20cm pot See our Wisteria Factsheet here for more about the different Wisteria varieties!

Ophiopogan japonicas 

Mondo Grass is a groundcover or bordering plant that lets you throw away your shears. The advantage of Mondo Grass is that once they grow to their full height, they never grow any taller. 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.

Bird of Paradise are native to South Africa, and are very hardy and can be grown in full sun to part shade. They get their name from their exotic blue/orange flowers that resemble the head of a colourful tropical bird.

Bird of Paradise have large, lush foliage and look great when used in rockeries and interplanted with yuccas and agaves. Great for creating a tropical feel in the garden.

We refer to these as "Flowering Bird of Paradise" or Strelitzia Bird of Paradise (a bit of a mouthful that comes from their botanical name) because there is another variety of Bird of Paradise called Giant Bird of Paradise. These have much bigger leaves, are taller growing, and are often planted together with Flowering Bird of Paradise to create a multi-layered, tropic garden effect even as far south as Melbourne.
