| Description | Wisteria sinensis
Wisteria sinensis 'Jako' is an enchanting vine that bursts with fragrant, white flowers each spring. Its stunning, cascading clusters fill the air with their delightful scent. This vigorous plant thrives best on solid structures like pergolas, walls, or trellises, and loves to bask in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. For the best chance of future blooms, be sure to prune it after flowering.

See our Wisteria Factsheet here for more about the different Wisteria varieties! | Pittosporum tenuifolium
Irene Patterson is a quick growing, dense pittosporum with fine pale green leaves edged with creamy white, giving them a frosted look. Perfect for hedges and screens due to its "shape-abillity".
Irene Patterson Pittosporums grow to a height of 2-3 meters but can be clipped shorter. Plant them 1 metre apart for a good screen or hedge. Water well while establishing. | |
