Banksia serrata, or Saw or Old Man Banksia, is a character-filled small to medium-sized tree with leathery serrated leaves and large, creamy yellow to brown flowers in summer. The flowers are followed by interesting pods, and the bark is quite lumpy - both of which helped inspire May Gibbs' Big Bad Banksia man. The plant can vary in size depending on the soil and its exposure. Banksia serrata attracts nectar-loving birds and other wildlife to the garden, and black cockatoos like feeding on the developing cones.

Myoporum insulare Prostrate, or Boobialla (also known as Native Juniper or Coastal Boobialla), is a native, fruit-bearing groundcover. This species produces small white flowers as the weather heats up - in warmer areas of Australia, it’s not unusual to experience a long flowering season - with fruit following shortly after. As summer ends, Boobialla produces small, round, purple fruits with an astringent sweetness. They’re great for jams, jellies and preserves. Even when creeping, it develops a dense, bushy appearance, making it ideal for rockeries, filling gaps between plants, or suppressing weeds. Boobialla is a hardy plant that adapts to a wide range of climates. In colder areas it may lose some of its lustre and drop leaves when exposed to frost, but it usually recovers quickly in spring after a light prune.

Conditions: Full sun. Drought, salt, coastal and light frost tolerant.
