6''/14cm pot size | Pelargonium x hortorum
The ‘BIG’ series of Pelargoniums will bring bright impact to your garden! Large, doubled blooms present themselves atop mid-green, compact foliage, setting a neat, yet exciting scene for most of the year. Give your garden a cottage feel by using baskets to hang them from lattice, retaining walls, fences or pergolas. The thick, mid-green foliage keeps a semi-trailing habit which means they will cascade in hanging baskets, or stay low-growing in the garden.

| Content | Midyim Berries, also known as Midgen berry plants and sand berries, are delicious small white, purple-speckled bush tucker plants. They are similar in both taste and appearance to the blueberry, with a slight ginger flavour.
In early summer small white star-shaped flowers appear on the Midyim Berry plant, gradually turning into the sweet and tasty berries throughout summer and autumn.
Although they are seen growing in sandy soils in the wild, keep the soil moist and well-fed to ensure a good harvest of Midyim berries in the following months.
These little shrubs can double as a Midyim Berry hedge around a garden bed or along a path, though not so much grown as a Midyim Berry tree as they are usually too small to grow so tall.
Midyim Berry Austromyrtus dulcis can be cultivated in different climatic conditions and prefers a warm climate to thrive.
Do you need a low-spreading shrub for your outdoor space? Choose the Midyim berry hedge. The plant can be used for decoration purposes and you can also use it to prepare salads and desserts. | | Rhaphiolepis delacouri x indica 'Apple Blossom' Indian Hawthorn
