‘Raspberry Dream’ has turned out to be one of the best new grevillea hybrids released in recent years. Foliage is finer and flowers are slightly more pink than other similar hybrids - with flowering continuing throughout the year. Responds well to light prune and can easily be kept as a neat, small shrub.

We have limited numbers still in stock this weekend - we’re open 9am to 1pm on Sunday in Tilba Tilba.

With a lot of banksias starting to flower in local gardens we have stocked up on a range of species and forms - from low mounding shrubs like ‘Coastal Cushion’ (pictured) through to taller growing varieties suitable for screening.

East coast species in stock include B.spinulosa (many forms), B. integrifolia (several forms), B. ericifolia and the very rare local(ish) species B. vincentia. We also have a nice range of WA banksia species in the nursery if you want to try something a little different.

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

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.

New in the nursery this week - Banksia spinulosa ‘Coastal Cushion’. This outstanding dwarf form is one of the best small banksias with a slightly larger and more robust habit than ‘Birthday Candles’ and masses of flower cones in winter. It naturally forms a neat, mounding shrub and is very hardy in local conditions.

Other banksias in stock this week include the larger growing B. spinulosa ‘Bold and Gold’ (2m x 2m) which makes a very attractive low screen with striking yellow flowers and several new B. ericifolia forms. We also have a nice range of WA banksia species in out Collector’s Corner if you want to try something a little different.

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

Open

Grevillea synapheae (catkin grevillea) is a beautiful WA species which features masses of creamy flowers from mid-winter to mid-spring. Low growing forms in particular are a great option for rockeries and raised beds where they can be easily shaped into attractive mounding shrubs. Can do really well in local conditions in a full-sun spot with an appropriate native soil mix - images here are garden plants flowering near Corunna, NSW (flowering in August).

We have Grevillea synapheae available in our Collector’s Corner this week. 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.

Open

Callistemon ‘White Anzac’ is starting to flower in the nursery this week. This compact form of Callistemon citrinus is a great option if you want a hardy bottlebrush with an alternative flower colour to red/pink and more of a low spreading habit (1.5m high) than a tall screen.

If you are after a white flowering Callistemon with a little bit more height and an upright habit for screening we have the ‘Wilderness White’ form of Callistemon viminalis expected back in stock later this week when our next batch of natives arrive.

We’re open 9am to 2pm, Thursday to Sunday, in Tilba Tilba, NSW if you’re after some extra flowering for your summer/autumn garden.

We currently have a range of beautiful WA banksia species in our Collector’s Corner - including Banksia media.

All of the WA banksias in our Collector’s Corner have been selected for local conditions (we’ve grown them all to flowering in local gardens). 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.
