Natives

Correa glabra has dense, small-leaf, green foliage and produces a variety of colours when flowering: white, green-white or pink and white bi-colour. The bell-shaped flowers appear throughout autumn and winter attracting birds and insects. Its upright, spreading habit makes it a popular choice for use as a low hedge and looks fantastic as an informal border or planted under trees that provide dappled sunlight. 

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Protect from the hot afternoon sun. Drought, frost and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 1-2m x width 1-2m

Callistemon Purple Splendour is a relatively compact bottlebrush with an abundance of brilliant purple flower heads in spring with a follow-up flush in autumn. The new foliage is a soft pink colour - adding a colourful contrast to the more mature, grey-green foliage. Naturally open in habit, prune Purple Splendour regularly to encourage more dense growth and even more flowers. 

Soil: Adaptable to most soil types.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Tolerant of drought, frosts and coastal conditions.
Size: Heigh 2-2.5m x width 1-2m

Leptospermum Copper Glow is a striking Australian native that brings year-round colour and elegance to the garden. Its gracefully arching branches are clothed in rich copper-toned foliage, creating a beautiful contrast against the masses of nectar-rich white flowers that appear in spring. Ideal as an informal hedge, screen, or feature tree, it also attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Plant where it has room to spread and show off its graceful form, and lightly prune after flowering to encourage a denser, bushier habit.

Soil: Suitable for a wide range of soils.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Frost, drought and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 3m x width 2m

Isopogon anemonifolius is a compact upright shrub with intricate lobed foliage. Buds which develop across summer open as pale yellow mini-protea flowers, held above the deeply-divided, leathery foliage throughout winter and spring, to the delight of small honeyeaters and scrub wrens. The native makes a showy display when grouped in small garden beds and rockeries, or mass-plant in containers to decorate a sunny courtyard. Mulch well with leaf matter or compost. Prune back hard occasionally to promote fresh new growth.

Soil: Well-drained, light, slightly acid soil.
Conditions: Full sun. It will tolerate a light frost, short periods of drought and salty winds.
Size: Height 1.5m x width 0.50m

Correa alba PBR Coastal Pink is a native flowering shrub forming a nice rounded mound with attractive blue-green foliage. Delicate pink, bell-shaped flowers appear in profusion from autumn to spring with spot-flowering all year round. It has a strong growth habit that landscapers will love, along with its ability to work in coastal situations. Coastal Pink is a very hardy specimen and ideal as a low-growing border plant or hedge. A light trim, once flowering has finished, will help give the plant shape and encourage density. Follow with an application of a native slow-release fertiliser.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Drought, frost, salt and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 2m x width 2m
