Landscape Gold is a hardy and adaptable kangaroo paw from the Tall & Tough series, prized for its vibrant yellow to golden flower spikes and reliable garden performance. It flourishes in a wide range of soil types as long as drainage is good, making it an excellent choice for diverse garden settings across Australia.

During the flowering period, it responds well to applications of a low-phosphorus native fertiliser and benefits from occasional watering during extended dry spells to maintain strong, consistent blooming. Maintenance is minimal, requiring only an annual trim after flowering to encourage fresh new growth and repeat performance.

Grevillea Knockout is a compact, dwarf native shrub that delivers a long-lasting splash of colour from April through to October. Its clusters of tiny, curled red and yellow flowers sit beautifully against neat, densely packed foliage that emerges apple green before maturing to a deeper green. The fine foliage gives the plant a tidy, rounded appearance, making it perfect for small spaces. Ideal for dry gardens, rockeries and low hedging, Grevillea Knockout is both hardy and low maintenance once established. Prune after flowering to encourage fresh growth and maintain a compact shape. Feed with a slow-release native fertiliser when buds begin to form, ensuring the phosphorus content remains under 3%, as grevilleas can be sensitive to higher phosphorus levels.

Soil: Plant in well-mulched, well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Frost, coastal and heat tolerant.
Size: Height 1m x width 1m
