Shrubs

It's so pretty, it almost seems impossible that Hydrangea macrophylla Mars exists! Each floret on the full mophead blooms is lushly saturated with deep pink or purple-blue, outlined by a white edge that makes it look like something out of a fairytale. The foliage is very dark green and deeply ribbed, completing the picture-perfect look. A classic choice for including in gardens and landscaping, Mars also makes a nice choice for low hedges and containers. 

Soil: Well-drained, loamy soil. The soil must be alkaline to produce continuous pink flowers, and acidic to produce blue. To increase alkalinity, add garden lime.
Conditions: Hydrangeas do not like hot, direct sunlight so plant with morning sunlight and partial shade in the later parts of the day. Frost and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 1-2m x width 0.60-1m

Callistemon Wilderness White is a graceful, small bottlebrush featuring elegant weeping branches and a stunning display of large white blooms in spring. Its soft green foliage provides a fresh contrast to the crisp flowers, creating a bright and refined look in the garden. Ideal for use as a windbreak, hedge, or screen, it also attracts birds with its nectar-rich flowers. Prune after flowering to encourage healthy, vigorous new growth.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Thrives in a sunny position. Drought, frost and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 2.5m x width 2m
