Natives

Syzygium Resilience is a fast-growing, compact lilly pilly prized for its dense, tightly packed foliage and excellent resilience in a range of garden conditions. New growth emerges in attractive reddish-bronze tones before maturing to fresh pale green, creating year-round colour and interest. In spring, clusters of fluffy creamy-white flowers attract bees, butterflies and birds, followed by edible berries. Ideal for hedging, screening, topiary and bonsai, this versatile Australian native responds well to pruning and forms a neat, lush display with minimal maintenance.

Soil: Most well-drained soils.
Conditions: Full sun to partial shade. Drought and coastal hardy.  Light frost tolerance.
Size: Height 5m x width 3m

A popular Australian native, Scaevola White Carpet puts on a terrific flower show from spring to autumn. The long-lived, spreading ground cover has a thick carpet of tight, mid-green foliage with clusters of fan-shaped, white flowers. It looks incredible planted around the house in hanging baskets or as a ground cover where landscapes need a pop of colour. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy appearance, and feed with a slow-release native fertiliser in spring. 

Soil: Well-drained soil
Conditions: Full sun. Drought, coastal and moderately frost tolerant.
Size: Height 0.15m x width 1m

Callistemon Taree Pink is an easy-care native with a compact habit, fresh lime-green foliage and spectacular, brilliant pink bottle-brush flowers. Flowers appear year-round with a heavy flush during spring. Like most callistemon, they attract nectar-feeding birds and insects to your garden. Prune after flowering to promote another flush of colour and feed with a slow-release native fertiliser yearly.

Soil: Moist, well-drained soils are best.
Conditions: Choose a sunny location though a little shade throughout the day will be well tolerated - too much shade will encourage it to become sparse and rangy. Drought, frost and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 3m x width 2.5m

Bush Pearl is an eye-catching dwarf Kangaroo Paw with an abundance of vibrant pink furry paw flowers. The gloriously coloured flowers are displayed throughout most of the calendar year.

Excellent in all landscapes, especially when planted in clumps, and superb as a cut flower.

Soil: Well drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Drought and coastal hardy. Light frost tolerant.
