Thursday June 23rd
Grevillea laurifolia is low-growing, native groundcover from the Blue Mountains which is one parent of many cultivated Grevillea hybrids like 'Royal Mantle'. But it is also a beautiful plant in its own right - and deserves to be grown in more gardens where it has a long flowering period from spring into summer and is popular with birds and bees. We have new stock of G. laurifolia 'Blue Mt Rambler' in the nursery this week with some plants already in flower. Keith. #inthenursery #nativeplants #grevilleas
Wednesday June 22nd
New in the nursery this week is the beautiful Hellebore 'Angel Glow' which features striking pink buds that open to elegant light-pink flowers. Older flowers later fade to off-white creating a very interesting floral display of pinks and whites. Plants in the nursery are in bud with some early flowers already emerging - so will make an immediate impact in your garden or pot. We only have limited stock of this long-flowering hellebore - if you can't make it down before the weekend ring ahead to save one (02 4473 7196) as these will sell out quickly. Keith. #inthenursery #hellebore #winter
Tuesday June 21st
Correas are winter-flowering native shrubs which are very popular with birds. Most forms will do well in full sun or dappled light - making them a handy option for planting around larger feature shrubs which might create some shade in the garden. Many forms also do well in coastal areas making them a very versatile plant for our local conditions. There are now quite a few excellent hybrids and select forms available which have showy flowers (in a range of colours) and compact habits. Drop in for a browse through our native plant collection - which includes both Correas and other winter-flowering species - next time you're down Tilba Tilba way. Keith. #inthenursery #correas #winter #nativeplants
So pretty and hardy too.

A couple of nice native options in the nursery this morning for some instant flowering / colour in your winter garden.

Syzygium 'Orange Twist' is a striking lilly pilly which features white flowers in summer and purple berries in autumn but the orange new foliage and reddish stems provide colour right across the year. This is an excellent hedging / screening lilly pilly as regular pruning will encourage more colourful new growth.
