New natives in the nursery this week include the stunning grafted Grevillea ‘Amber Blaze’. This low growing hybrid features a graceful, almost weeping, habit with fine feathery foliage and large sprays of orange flowers. Grafted plants are very hardy and can look amazing cascading down banks or over rocks. Plants in the nursery are not flowering yet - but many garden plants (images below) are out now in autumn gardens. #inthenursery #grevilleas #nativeplants #autumn

Asters are a colourful option for the autumn perennial garden and we have a good range in stock (and flower) this week - including several uncommon and unusual forms. ‘Purple Prince’ is a beautiful double-flowering form with masses of rich purple blooms while Aster tataricus is a striking species with lavender/blue flowers on tall stems plus large paddle-shaped leaves at the base of the plant. Both of these forms are currently flowering in the nursery. #inthenursery #asters #perennials #autumn #cottagegardens #gardening

We have two grafted hakea species in stock this week - including the very showy Hakea francisiana ‘Intensity’ This is a medium to large shrub (up to 4m but can be lightly pruned to size) featuring large sprays or red/pink flowers well displayed in winter to spring. We also have the similar Hakea bucculenta with red flowers in stock.

In the past these showy WA hakeas have proven difficult to keep alive for extended periods in the humid summers of eastern Australia. However in recent years grafted plants have appeared on the market with much hardier rootstock - allowing these spectacular plants to do well in a wider range of conditions. These grafted hakeas are hardy in both coastal conditions ((image here is a garden plant growing near Corunna) and Canberra winters. #inthenursery #nativeplants #autumn #hakeas

They do well locally - particularly in full-sun rockeries or raised beds with excellent drainage. #inthenursery #nativeplants #banksias #autumn #banksia #gardening #rockeryplants
