Hedges

Camellia High Fragrance has large, light ivory pink, semi-double flowers and an alluring fragrance. Adding to the romance, the petals have a deep pink shading on the outer edges. Flowers are more like sasanqua camellias being big and loose, randomly ruffled rather than neat. Be assured that every winter and spring this camellia will delight the senses with its beauty and become part of your gardening tradition. High Fragrance is ideal for mass planting as a perfumed hedge or screen.

Soil: Plant in a free-draining soil that is medium to acidic pH, rich in organic matter.  A potting mix rich in humus is ideal, added at the time of planting. It is recommended to create a mound to plant High Fragrance if your garden has clay soils.
Conditions: Sunny or partly shaded position with morning or afternoon sun. It can be grown throughout Australia and is tolerant of both heat and light frost, but may need protection in extreme situations, especially when young. Shelter from strong winds.

Westringia Aussie Box is a compact, hardy native shrub that offers an excellent alternative to traditional exotic box hedging. Ideal for hedges, borders, mass plantings and containers, it also performs exceptionally well in coastal gardens thanks to its strong tolerance to salt-laden winds, drought and frost. During spring and summer, masses of soft mauve flowers appear amongst the dense grey-green foliage, adding seasonal colour while attracting pollinators to the garden. Naturally forming a neat rounded shape, Aussie Box can be left unpruned for a softer look or clipped into a formal hedge or topiary shape. Although it benefits from slightly more regular pruning than traditional box hedges, it establishes quickly and is far tougher in Australian conditions, making it a practical and attractive low-maintenance option for modern landscapes.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Frost, drought and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 0.40m x width 0.60m

Its seeds are considered nutritional and can be ground into a powder and used as a flavouring in desserts. It makes an ideal windbreak, privacy screen, fauna attractor, ornamental tree and beekeeper’s delight.

Conditions: Full sun. Drought, heat, wind, salt and coastal tolerant

Camellia Setsugekka is one of the most popular and widely grown sasanqua camellias, admired for its magnificent white flowers, elegantly wavy petals, and glossy green foliage. Flowering from late summer through to early winter, it brings a long-lasting display of colour and beauty to the garden at a time when many other plants are beginning to slow down. The large, semi-double blooms are highlighted by prominent golden stamens, creating a striking contrast against the deep green foliage.  A hardy and relatively fast-growing variety, Setsugekka develops into a dense evergreen shrub that can also be trained into a small tree over time. It is particularly valued for its tolerance of sunny positions, making it more versatile than many other camellias. Its upright growth habit makes it ideal for hedging, screening, espalier work, feature planting, and large containers.

Soil: Well-drained, slightly acidic soil. A potting mix rich with peat moss or humus is ideal when added at the time of planting.
