Grevillea Gold Cluster is a superb, ultra-low, dense groundcover that smothers the soil surface and suppresses even the most determined weeds. This hardy grevillea delights with an abundance of petite, spider-like yellow flowers that brighten the garden through winter and spring, creating a striking contrast against its fine, juniper-like foliage. The flowering is naturally profuse, and because grevilleas bloom at the ends of their shoots, regular pruning in early summer encourages even heavier flowering and a tidier, more compact habit. Ideal for cascading over walls, softening garden edges, spilling from containers, or forming a luminous carpet across banks and open garden beds, Gold Cluster is both ornamental and highly practical.

Orange Cross Kangaroo Paw is a striking Australian native with evergreen, strappy foliage and tall spikes of burnt-orange flowers appearing through spring and summer. Like other kangaroo paws, it makes a bold feature in the garden and adds vibrant colour to borders, native plantings, or containers. The long flower spikes are also excellent for cut flowers, creating a dramatic display in vases where their bright colour can last for weeks. For best results, apply a slow-release Australian native fertiliser once a year after flowering. When the flowering season finishes, prune the spent stems right back to the base. This encourages fresh growth, with new flower stems emerging from the plant’s underground rhizome.
