Natives

Anigozanthos Regal Velvet is a hardy and eye-catching kangaroo paw variety valued for its dense foliage and striking flowers. The tall flower stems rise above the clump of green strap-like leaves, carrying unique blooms in a rich combination of pale green and deep ruby red. Flowering over an extended period, this Australian native adds vibrant colour and texture to gardens while attracting nectar-feeding birds, bees, and other beneficial pollinators. Regal Velvet is well suited to a wide range of garden styles, including native, coastal, and low-maintenance landscapes. Regular removal of spent flower stems will help maintain a tidy appearance and encourage further flowering.

Melaleuca quinquenervia, commonly known as the Broad-leaved Paperbark, is a medium to tall tree admired for its thick, soft, papery bark in beautiful cream to warm brown tones. From spring through to autumn, it produces masses of white, bottlebrush-like flowers that stand out against the soft grey-green foliage, adding long-lasting seasonal interest. Fast growing and versatile, this species can be shaped into a single-trunked feature tree or allowed to develop into a broad, spreading form. The Broad-leaved Paperbark is an excellent choice for shade, screening, windbreaks, rural landscapes, large gardens, and park plantings, offering both ornamental beauty and practical value.

Grevillea Legacy Flame has been specially selected to commemorate the centenary of Legacy Australia in 2023, with a donation from every plant sold going towards the ongoing support of veterans’ families.

Its vivid flame-like orange to red flowers appear mainly through autumn and winter, creating a welcome burst of colour when many other plants are resting.

Compact and versatile, Grevillea Legacy Flame thrives in large pots, courtyard gardens and sunny borders.
