Evergreen Plants

Pennisetum alopecuroides Purple Lea PBR is an unusual ornamental grass that brings soft texture and seasonal colour to the garden. This delightful, non-weedy variety forms a neat clump of gracefully arching green foliage, topped with elegant feathery purple flower heads that create a striking contrast against the leaves. Flowering through the warmer months, the rich purple plumes sway gently in the breeze, adding movement and interest to borders, rockeries, and mixed garden beds. Purple Lea also performs beautifully as a feature plant in decorative pots, where its cascading foliage and showy blooms can be appreciated up close. Easy to grow and low maintenance once established, it provides long-lasting visual appeal while fitting comfortably into both home gardens and public landscape designs.

Grevillea Carpet Layer is a dense, spreading evergreen ground cover valued for its hardy nature and long-lasting floral display. The attractive dark green, serrated foliage forms a thick mat across the soil surface, making it an excellent choice for suppressing weeds and covering large areas with minimal maintenance. From winter through spring and often into summer, it produces masses of soft pink, toothbrush-like flowers that create a vibrant and eye-catching display. These nectar-rich blooms are highly attractive to nectar-feeding birds, adding colour and activity to the garden during the cooler months when flowering plants can be limited.
A light prune after flowering will help maintain a neat appearance and encourage dense, fresh growth. If fertilising, use a low-phosphorus native fertiliser to ensure healthy development.

Soil: Well-drained soil. 
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Drought, light frost and coastal tolerant.
