Hedges

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

Callistemon sieberi Crimson is a striking and easy-to-grow native, prized for its profusion of vivid crimson bottlebrush flowers. Flowering generously from November through to March, it delivers a long-lasting display that brings vibrant colour to the garden over the warmer months. This fast-growing variety features fine, soft foliage and gracefully pendulous branches, creating a naturally elegant form. The pale silvery-pink new growth adds an extra layer of visual interest, even when the plant is not in full bloom. Highly attractive to nectar-feeding birds, it also helps support local wildlife. Ideal for hedging, screening or mass planting, Crimson is a versatile and rewarding choice for a wide range of garden styles.
