| Description | Acacia covenyi 'Blue Bush Wattle'
A rarer form of Acacia, the 'Blue Bush Wattle' has long, blue-grey foliage unlike any other. The foliage alone is one of the main reasons this wattle is chosen for hedging or screening, making a gorgeous steel blue wall of hardy foliage. And in the spring it's flush with the iconic yellow pom-pom wattle flowers, contrasting vibrantly against the foliage.
To get the best flowering results, plant in full sun, but Blue Bush Wattle can grow well in part shade. They do not like soggy soils, so be sure to plant in a well drained position.
6"/14cm pot | Quercus robur
English Oaks are famous for being solid and strong. The trunk and secondary branches are very solid and are covered in thick blackish-grey bark which makes it quite a sight.
The autumn foliage is a rich, dark brown. As the foliage is smaller than other deciduous trees, fallen leaves are not particularly difficult to eliminate and will not clog drains.
10"/25cm pot | Gaura lindheimeri "Butterfly Bush"
Butterfly Bush is a bushy, hardy perennial shrub with long graceful stems that bloom with pale pink flowers in spring-summer. These stems grow up to 1m long, but can be clipped back shorter, and sway gracefully in the breeze. The name of a popular variety, Whirling Butterflies, perfectly describes the way the plant resembles a cloud of butterflies when swaying in the breeze.
6" pot size. | Cotinus Coggygria, Smoketree
Purple Smoke Bush is a gem in the garden thanks to it's unique blend of colours that change throughout the seasons. A large deciduous shrub or small tree, its beautiful eye-catching Spring foliage is green overlaid with purple. Summer brings deep purple foliage that then turns deep orange and bronze in a burst of glory for an Autumn show.
Purple Smokebush gets its name from the clouds of smoke-like purple and pink "flowers" it produces in early Summer. These are very beautiful themselves, and are prized along with the foliage by florists. Grows best in full sun to partial shade and it is tolerant of drought and most soils, making it a great addition to many gardens.
10" pot size. | Trachelospermum jasminoides
A gorgeous, evergreen climber trained in the sculptural art of espalier
• Fragrant white jasmine flowers in summer
• Perfect for covering unsightly walls or fences
• Can be grown in pots or made into living wall art
| Phoenix roebelenii 'Pygmy Date Palm'
Date Palms feature an interesting, classic palm trunk that forms and grows larger as it matures. They have a crown of elegant dark green lacy fronds cascading from the top of this. A mature Date Palm will reach 2-3 meters tall.
Old, dead fronds are best pruned off to expose the trunk as the tree ages and to keep it neat. The Date Palm is another good plant for creating a tropical feel in the garden which does well down South. |
