Description

Aesculus hippocastanum

The Horse-Chestnut is a large domed, deciduous tree that is popular in the parklands of Europe and is also fairly common in the cooler areas of Australia. The leaves are large and palmately compound, while the creamy white flowers have a pink spot. They make excellent summer shade trees and are a handsome addition to larger spaces where you can appreciate their outline and attractive foliage which turns russet brown in early autumn, making a wonderful autumnal sight. These trees are best known for their spikey green fruit that contain shiny dark brown nuts or 'conkers'. Conkers particularly when fresh and young contains toxins and should not be eaten. 20''/50cm pot size.

Hardenbergia violacea 

Happy Wanderer is the most well known variety of this popular native climber. With its vigorous climbing habit it is a useful plant for covering fences and similar objects or used as a spreading ground cover.

Happy Wanderer's leaves are glossy green in colour and the flowers are a vibrant rich violet-mauve in colour. They are borne profusely from Winter to early Spring. Likes a full sun to part shade position.
