The Camellia sasanqua Jennifer Susan is a joy to behold with its display of double soft musk pink flowers - complete with wavy petals - from winter to spring. It is a hardy, long-living shrub with rich dense foliage that can grow into a small tree. It looks great in a feature pot and makes a wonderful hedge or espalier against a wall. Jennifer Susan is excellent as a specimen plant due to the abundance of large and showy flowers. Prune after flowering to promote dense growth and prolific flowering in the following season.

Soil: Well-drained, slightly acidic soil. A potting mix rich with peat moss or humus is ideal when added at the time of planting.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Drought and coastal hardy. Moderate frost tolerance.
Size: Height 3m x width 2m

Bursting with glowing golden-orange pincushion blooms through spring, Carnival Orange is a dense-growing leucospermum that brings warmth and vibrancy to the garden. Its soft mid-green foliage creates the perfect backdrop for the eye-catching flowers, which are loved by birds, bees and flower arrangers alike. Ideal for pots, garden beds, borders or low hedges, Carnival Orange thrives as a feature plant or when mass planted for a bold splash of colour. Like most proteas, it’s wonderfully low maintenance once established and perfectly suited to sunny spots with well-drained soil. A dazzling choice for adding year-round texture and springtime drama to the garden.

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. These plants are coast and drought tolerant and tolerate light frost.
