Ophiopogan japonicas 'Mondo grass'

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. 3" pot size.

Pennisetum setaceum

Common names: Fountain grass, African fountain grass, Green fountain or foxtail grass. Originating from Africa, Pennisetum setaceum is an upright tufted ornamental grass with slim green stems, holding feathery long spike-heads that are reddish purple in colour. They are fast-growing, wind tolerant and will look wonderful planting en masse. Mature growth will reach 1m tall by 50cm wide.

Waterhousea floribunda

This Australian native is known as the Weeping Lilly Pilly due to its slightly drooping habit, which is visually very attractive. It is often used as a hedge/screen and responds well to pruning. Although often used as a hedge, it can also be planted as an evergreen tree. It also flowers white in Summer, but rarely in Melbourne, so it makes a good choice near pools. The height is often determined by the conditions, but untrimmed will reach at least 8m. It can easily grow in many soil types, is frost tolerant and also copes well with damp soils. It is fast growing and has a lovely, lush, compact foliage with the new growth a pink/rust colour adding contrast.
