Pennisetum alopecuroides Purple Lea PBR is an unusual ornamental grass that brings soft texture and seasonal colour to the garden. This delightful, non-weedy variety forms a neat clump of gracefully arching green foliage, topped with elegant feathery purple flower heads that create a striking contrast against the leaves. Flowering through the warmer months, the rich purple plumes sway gently in the breeze, adding movement and interest to borders, rockeries, and mixed garden beds. Purple Lea also performs beautifully as a feature plant in decorative pots, where its cascading foliage and showy blooms can be appreciated up close. Easy to grow and low maintenance once established, it provides long-lasting visual appeal while fitting comfortably into both home gardens and public landscape designs.

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. The luminous blooms are highly attractive to nectar-feeding birds and beneficial insects, adding movement and life to the landscape throughout its extended flowering season. 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.

Soil: Adaptable to most soil types.
Conditions: Full sun to light shade. Tolerates light frost, drought and coastal conditions.
Size: Height 1-2m x width 1.5m
