Natives

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

A compact native with big personality, Corymbia Scentuous is prized for its narrow, highly aromatic foliage that releases a fresh lemon fragrance when crushed. Creamy white summer flowers attract birds and pollinators, while the striking pink-salmon bark provides year-round colour and texture. Its naturally smaller size makes it an ideal feature tree for gardens large or small, as well as streetscapes, courtyards and native landscapes. Hardy, attractive and beautifully scented, Scentuous brings both ornamental appeal and valuable habitat to the garden.

Soil: Well-drained humus-rich soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Frost, coastal and drought hardy.
Size: Height 6m x width 3-4m
