Callistemon Purple Cloud is a beautifully shaped Australian native shrub known for its vibrant purple bottlebrush flowers that appear from spring through summer. The blooms are rich in nectar, attracting birds, beneficial insects and small mammals, making it a great choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Its naturally compact growth makes it ideal for narrow screens or small hedges, while unpruned plants develop a graceful, slightly weeping small tree form. Pruning after flowering helps maintain a dense, compact shape and encourages fresh growth and repeat flowering. It responds well to shaping, making it an excellent option for hedging or screening, but can also be left unpruned to develop its natural, softly weeping habit.

Soil: Suitable for a wide range of soils. 
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Drought, frost and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 2m x width 2m

Banksia Coastal Cushion is a quick-growing, dense, low-growing banksia that flowers prolifically throughout autumn and winter, bringing vibrant colour to the garden when many other plants are slowing down. It naturally forms a wide, ground-hugging mound, making it an excellent choice for covering bare areas, softening edges, or cascading gently over retaining walls. With light pruning, it develops an even tighter, more compact habit, enhancing its neat, cushion-like appearance. The striking golden flower spikes are highlighted by contrasting brown stamens, creating a rich and textured display. These blooms are not only beautiful in the garden but are also ideal for cut flower arrangements. Highly attractive to birds, bees and butterflies, Coastal Cushion supports local wildlife while providing long-lasting seasonal interest in coastal and inland gardens alike.

Conditions: Sun or part shade. Coastal, frost and drought tolerant.
