Saturday June 12th
Bracteantha (Xerochrysum) 'Mohave White' is a beautiful select form of this hardy everlasting/paper daisy which flowers for most of the year (plants in the nursery are just starting to flower now). Its compact size (45cm x 45cm) makes it a good option for a container plant but it is also equally at home in a rockery or mixed garden bed. Keith. #inthenursery #nativeplants #everlastingdaisies
Thursday June 10th

Monday June 7th
We've had quite a few enquiries about Philothecas (formerly Eriostemon) recently - and now have a couple of varieties fresh in stock. 'Flower Girl' is a compact form (1m x 1m) which features masses of soft pink/white star-shaped flowers opening from deeper pink buds during winter and spring. Its branchlets and leaves also feature prominent glands which give them an interesting 'warty' appearance. Like most Philothecas its foliage is also aromatic. We also have Philotheca 'Ruby Cascade' in stock at the moment. Keith. #inthenursery #philotheca #nativeplants
Sunday June 6th
Kangaroo Paws (Anigozanthus) are great for adding beautiful colour to the winter garden with a wide range of varieties providing a striking combination of vivid flowers and fresh green foliage. The closely related Conostylis is a good option as a contrast planting to the reds, oranges and greens of the roo paws as it features clusters of yellow flowers and soft, blue/grey foliage. Both of these species will flower well into spring but are particularly showy in winter if planted in a position where the low winter sun lights up flowers in the late afternoon. We have a range of roo paws and Conostylis candicans in stock this week. Keith. #inthenursery #nativeplants #anigozanthus #conostylis
Sunday May 30th

Grevillea 'Lollypops' is a stunning grafted grevillea which features sprays of raspberry coloured flowers for most of the year. In softer light the flowers look magenta/pink but in direct sunlight or back lighting they tend to look a brighter red/pink. Regular dead-heading of the finished flowers keeps the plant a compact shape (1.5m x 1.5m) and leads to more flowering. A very popular grev with bees and birds - grafted plants in the nursery are currently starting to bud. Keith. #inthenursery #grevilleas
