Evergreen Plants

Lomandra longifolia Nyalla has evergreen fine foliage that looks like a grass tree, but it’s trunkless, faster growing and doesn’t need annual trimming!

Nyalla is suited for mass planting in gardens, roadsides, and residential and commercial planting. The foliage is also popular in flower arrangements as foliage filler.

The Dwarf Kumquat Meiwa is a petite citrus treasure, perfectly suited to small gardens, balconies, courtyards, or even a sunny indoor position. This compact variety produces beautifully bright, round to oval-shaped fruit renowned for their exceptional sweetness. Unlike many other citrus, Meiwa kumquats are enjoyed whole — both the edible rind and the juicy flesh are sweet and flavourful, with only soft seeds nestled inside. The fruit can be eaten fresh straight from the tree, preserved, candied, or transformed into delicious marmalade, making it a wonderfully versatile addition to the home garden. Its glossy green foliage and naturally neat growth habit add year-round ornamental appeal, bringing a lush, vibrant touch wherever it is placed. With annual pruning, the Dwarf Meiwa Sweet Kumquat can be easily maintained at approximately 1 to 1.2 metres tall, making it ideal for growing in containers or compact garden spaces. It is self-pollinating, so only one tree is needed to enjoy a generous harvest of sweet, golden fruit.

Soil: Well-drained, sandy loam soil with plenty of added organic material such as compost.
Conditions: Sunny position. If you are in a colder climate, you can grow a Dwarf Meiwa Sweet Kumquat Tree in a container to bring indoors to a sunny window over winter. Citrus always prefers to be outside in direct sunlight, so once the threat of frost has passed, relocate your potted plant outdoors for the spring and summer months.

The Red Champagne Finger Lime is an evergreen tree with small green leaves and creamy blooms produced in late summer and autumn. The flowers are followed by elongated red fruits.

Soil: Plant in composted, well-draining soil. Mulch in spring and keep the soil moist in summer.
Conditions: Will perform best in a warm sheltered spot in full sun. Tolerant of light frost and dry conditions.
Size: Height 4-6m x width 3-4m

Myoporum parvifolium Fine Leaf is a dense, prostrate Australian native ground cover valued for its soft, fine green foliage and spreading habit. It forms a lush carpet that hugs the ground, making it ideal for covering large areas with minimal maintenance. From late spring through to early autumn, the plant is dotted with masses of tiny, starry flowers that sit just above the foliage, adding a delicate seasonal display while still maintaining its tidy appearance. Perfect for spilling over embankments, cascading across retaining walls, or filling difficult-to-access areas, Fine Leaf is excellent for suppressing weeds and stabilising soil. Its hardy nature makes it well suited to dry gardens, coastal sites and low-maintenance landscapes. Prune lightly once a year to encourage fresh, dense growth and to maintain shape. Feed annually with a controlled-release native fertiliser to keep plants healthy and flowering well.

Soil: Plant in free-draining soil rich in organic matter.
Conditions: Prefers a full sun position. Coastal, frost and drought hardy.
