Blue Rose Blueberry is an evergreen, dwarf variety that combines ornamental appeal with productive fruiting. In spring it produces delicate white to soft pink bell-shaped flowers, which develop into delicious blue berries during summer. The fruit is sweet and rich in antioxidants and vitamins, making it perfect for eating fresh straight from the bush or using in jams and desserts. Compact and easy to grow, Blue Rose is well suited to pots, small gardens, or as part of an edible landscape. In addition to its fruit, it provides seasonal interest with attractive reddish foliage in autumn. While it is self-fertile, planting it near another blueberry variety can improve pollination and result in a heavier crop.

Soil: Free-draining loose soil.
Conditions: Prefers full sun/part shade. Coastal, drought and frost tolerant.
Size: Height 2m x width 1.5m 

A dwarf Imperial Mandarin is a robust tree that gives a vigorous amount of mandarins that ripen from June onwards. It produces fragrant creamy-white flowers followed by medium-sized orange fruit.

The dwarf variety is ideal to grow in tubs, espaliered, courtyards or balcony areas if placed in a warm sunny position.

Soil: Well-drained soil
Conditions: Full sun. Protect from strong winds during flowering or while the fruit is forming. Light frost, humidity and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 1-2m x width 1-2m

Orange Cross Kangaroo Paw is a striking Australian native with evergreen, strappy foliage and tall spikes of burnt-orange flowers appearing through spring and summer. Like other kangaroo paws, it makes a bold feature in the garden and adds vibrant colour to borders, native plantings, or containers. The long flower spikes are also excellent for cut flowers, creating a dramatic display in vases where their bright colour can last for weeks. For best results, apply a slow-release Australian native fertiliser once a year after flowering. When the flowering season finishes, prune the spent stems right back to the base. This encourages fresh growth, with new flower stems emerging from the plant’s underground rhizome.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Drought, light frost and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 1.5-2m x width 1m

Soil: Thrives in any well-draining soil.
Conditions: Best grown in full sun. Drought, light frost and coastal tolerant.
