Viburnum sargentii ‘Onondaga’ is adding some vibrant autumn colour to the nursery this week. This outstanding feature shrub combines flowers similar to a lace-cap hydrangea and foliage similar to an oak-leaf hydrangea (with rich reds in autumn) - but it can also be grown in full sun.

We’re open 9am to 2pm Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Tilba Tilba if you’re after some instant seasonal colour for your garden.

In stock this weekend - the stunning Banksia spinulosa ‘Honeypots’. This hardy compact native shrub is a little larger growing than other dwarf B. spinulosa varieties and can be used alongside other smaller forms - like ‘Birthday Candles’ and ‘Coastal Cushion’ - to create a spectacular rockery display in autumn and winter. The flower spikes are also larger than most other dwarf forms and can reach over 200mm in length.

We have a big range of hardy east coast banksias in stock this week - from dwarf and groundcover forms through to larger shrub / small trees. We also have selection of WA banksias in our Collector’s Corner if you want to try something a little more unusual.

We’re open 9am to 2pm, Thursday to Sunday in Tilba Tilba, NSW if you’re after some more Banksias for your native garden.

New stock in our Collector’s Corner this week includes the unusual Western Australian Banksia dryandroides. This compact shrub features attractive foliage that resembles a dryandra (as they were know before they were all renamed as banksias!) plus dainty orange/brown/yellow flower spikes.

This WA banksia can do well on the east coast in a sunny spot with good drainage (images here are garden plants growing and flowering near Corunna, NSW). Native potting mix is the perfect addition to any soils that are either too heavy or ‘hungry’ sands. All of the WA species in our Collector’s Corner have been selected for local conditions - we’ve grown them all to flowering in the garden!

We’re open 9am to 2pm, Thursday to Sunday in Tilba Tilba, NSW if you’re after something a little different for your native plant collection.

In stock this week | Gastrolobium (Brachysema) praemorsum ‘Brown Butterfly’ is an unusual native ground cover which features dark bronze/brown leaves and striking red pea-like flowers. This hardy sprawling form can be grown in well drained soils in both full sun and part shade - we often use this distinctive plant in native garden projects to provide contrast foliage colour in dappled light areas around larger shrubs or under trees. ‘Brown Butterfly’ appreciates a good prune after flowering - which will bush up the plant nicely.

We currently also have a range of other interesting Gastrolobiums in stock including the low-growing ‘Lemon Drops’ (with pale yellow flowers) and the unusual G. sericeum ‘Black form’ which features dark burgundy/black flowers.

We’re open 9am to 2pm, Thursday to Sunday, in Tilba Tilba, NSW if you’re after something a little different for your native garden.

Open

Trigger plants (Stylidium) are beautiful and interesting small Australian wildflowers which are increasingly being enjoyed by gardeners as new cultivated forms become available. They are known as ‘trigger plants’ because of the unusual flowers which feature a column that is triggered by visiting insects and then springs upwards to deposit pollen on the head or back of the pollinator.

We have two select forms in stock this week : Stylidium Dinosaur Grass ‘Raptor’ (40cm x 40cm) and the slightly more compact Stylidium Dinosaur Grass ‘Pinkasaurus’ (25cm x 25cm). Both varieties form neat mounts of attractive grassy foliage with spikes of pink flowers a feature in early spring. Their neat habit and delicate flowers mean they are equally at home in native or cottage gardens - they are also an interesting option for pots.

We’re open 9am to 2pm, Thursday to Sunday in Tilba Tilba, NSW if you’re after something a little different for your native or cottage garden.
