Description

Lavandula angustifolia 

Traditionally English Lavender was grown for its heavenly fragrance, used in oils and potpourri. • Small, slender blue-ish purple flowers on tall stems above the foliage • Grown in pots, as a hedge or in the cottage garden to attract bees and butterflies Tolerates drought and dry conditions, preferring well drained soils 6"/14cm pot
Alnus jorullensis, Mexican Alder, Evergreen Birch  Evergreen Alder (Toorak Gum) is a fast growing medium sized evergreen tree. This tree is tough and will quite often thrive where other trees have difficultly growing. It prefers soil with higher amounts of moisture and loves low wet ground. Evergreen Alder is great as it can be shaped as well as used as a windbreak. Grows to around 6 meters in height. For more information, see our Evergreen Alder/Toorak Gum Tree factsheet.
ContentEvergreen Alders will grow up to 8 metres tall and 4 to 5 metres wide, but they love to be trimmed and can be kept at almost any height. If you want a neat hedge shaped screen, trim them 3 times a year, or if you just want to keep the trees small trim them once a year. The time of year for the trimming doesn't matter - do it whenever you feel like. If you're planting a screen you plant them 2-3 metres a part. For an avenue plant them 6 to 7 metres apart.
