Natives

Scleranthus biflorus Lime Lava is a distinctive, low-growing Australian native groundcover that forms vibrant, lime-green cushions with a soft, moss-like appearance. Its dense, sculptural habit allows it to naturally mould around rocks and contours, creating a flowing, “green lava” effect in the landscape. Ideal for landscaping, it works beautifully in rockeries, between pavers, or cascading over edges, and is equally suited to pots where its unique texture can be appreciated up close. It can be used to contrast with other plants or as a striking specimen on its own. This eye-catching plant is perfect for adding texture, softness, and a contemporary, architectural feel to garden spaces, especially where a low-maintenance, lawn-like look is desired without foot traffic.

Soil: Adapts to most soil types
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Drought, frost and coastal tolerant.

Banksia menziesii Dwarf is a dramatic dwarf banksia that is also known as the Firewood or Menzies Banksia. This beautiful plant is a stunning ornamental for the garden or pot as it has large, colourful flower heads and serrated grey to green coloured foliage. The large flowers begin pink/red changing to yellow as they open, making quite a show and attracting nectar-eating birds and bees. Suitable as a cut flower, the flower spikes retain colour for a long time in the vase and are ideal for drying. If grown in pots - ensure a potting mix for Australian Native plants is utilised.

Soil: Well-drained soil
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Wind, salt, coastal, drought and light frost tolerant.
Size: Height 1m x width 1.5m

Callistemon Purple Cloud is a beautifully shaped Australian native shrub known for its vibrant purple bottlebrush flowers that appear from spring through summer. The blooms are rich in nectar, attracting birds, beneficial insects and small mammals, making it a great choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Its naturally compact growth makes it ideal for narrow screens or small hedges, while unpruned plants develop a graceful, slightly weeping small tree form. Pruning after flowering helps maintain a dense, compact shape and encourages fresh growth and repeat flowering. It responds well to shaping, making it an excellent option for hedging or screening, but can also be left unpruned to develop its natural, softly weeping habit.

Soil: Suitable for a wide range of soils. 
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Drought, frost and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 2m x width 2m
