Also known as Eriostemon, or simply Wax Flower, Philotheca Flower Girl is an attractive small compact shrub. It has highly scented foliage and long-lasting, dainty pink-tinged, white star-shaped flowers in late winter to spring. Flower Girl has a naturally bushy habit making it ideal for hedges and borders, and regular pruning will result in more compact growth and even more flowers. The flowers are long-lasting as cut flowers to decorate the home with their colour and fragrance.

Soil: Well-drained, humus-rich soil. A little mulch around the base of the plant will keep the root system cool as well as suppress weeds.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Frost, drought and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 1-1.5m x width 1-1.5m

Grevillea laurifolia, commonly known as the Blue Mountains Rambler, is a hardy Australian native valued for its dense, spreading habit and ability to stabilise challenging sites. This evergreen ground cover or low-growing shrub features broad, heart-shaped leaves with a tough, leathery texture. From winter through to early summer, it puts on a striking display of wiry, toothbrush-like flowers in deep red tones, highlighted with golden tips. These nectar-rich blooms are highly attractive to birds and other pollinators, bringing life and movement into the garden during the cooler months. Well suited to embankments, slopes and areas prone to erosion, this grevillea thrives in difficult conditions where many other plants struggle. Care should be taken when pruning or planting, as the root system is sensitive to disturbance.

Soil: Prefers lighter, sandy soils.
Conditions: Sunny location. Coastal and frost tolerant.
Size: Height 0.15m x width 2-4m
