Evergreen Plants

Lavandula angustifolia Munstead is an heirloom dwarf variety of English Lavender introduced in 1916. Munstead produces masses of lilac-blue, fragrant lavender flower heads, and fine, grey-green foliage. Munstead lavender is attractive to bees and planting the lavender near a vegetable garden or citrus will assist with pollination and deter common pests. Being smaller makes this little treasure much more suitable for pot and container growing, squeezing into tighter spaces and in rockeries and small gardens.

Soil: Well-drained soil
Conditions: Full sun. Coastal, heat, frost and humid tolerant. 
Size: Height 0.70m x width 0.70m

Philotheca Cascade of Stars is a naturally compact and delightful small shrub that's absolutely smothered with pretty pink flower buds in winter and spring. As the springtime weather warms, the buds open to a dazzling display of sparkling, star-shaped, white flowers. Added to its attraction, the foliage is aromatic when rubbed, and the flowers attract bees, butterflies and birds to the garden. Great for containers and on banks and walls where it can spill over, as a feature plant or mass planted. Clip to shape after flowering. 

Soil: Well-drained, humus-rich soil. A little mulch around the base of the plant will keep the root system cool as well as suppress weeds.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Frost, wind, drought and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 0.30-0.50m x width 0.50m

Gold Velvet is a hardy hybrid, mid-sized kangaroo paw that produces attractive warm yellow flowers for most of the year, rising above dense green strappy foliage.

Ideal for mass planting, pots, and low-maintenance gardens or landscapes, Gold Velvet is a reliable and long-flowering choice for Australian gardens.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Drought, coastal and frost (-5c) hardy

Meet Carnival Red — the garden’s answer to fireworks with roots. This dense-growing leucospermum turns heads with soft mid-green foliage and an explosion of vivid red pincushion flowers throughout spring. Bright, bold and impossible to ignore, it brings serious colour and texture to garden beds, feature plantings and statement pots alike. Use it as a striking feature shrub, plant en masse for maximum impact, or shape it into a vibrant hedge or border. The nectar-rich blooms are also a magnet for birds and pollinators — and they make exceptional long-lasting cut flowers indoors too.

Soil: Well-drained soil. If you have clay soils, use mounds to plant into to facilitate drainage. Be sure to use a native soil mix when planting. Exotic potting mix or exotic fertiliser will kill them. 
Conditions: Full sun. Coast and drought tolerant. Will tolerate a light frost.
Size: Height 1.5m x width 1.5m
