Grevillea Cherry Moon PBR is a striking new grevillea cultivar celebrated for its masses of glorious, cherry-red flowers that bloom continuously throughout the year. The rich blooms are beautifully set against distinctive oak-leaf green foliage, creating a vibrant display in any garden setting. Naturally compact and bushy in habit, Cherry Moon is perfectly suited to both small and large gardens. It works equally well as a standout feature plant or as a contrasting floral shrub amongst other Australian natives. Its dense growth and long flowering period ensure it delivers reliable colour and structure across the seasons. Highly attractive to bees and nectar-feeding birds, this cultivar is ideal for waterwise gardens, native borders, mixed beds and broader landscape plantings. A light annual prune will help maintain its neat, compact form, and applying a slow-release native fertiliser every six to twelve months will keep the plant healthy and flourishing.

Soil: Free-draining soil or native potting mix.
Conditions: Full sun. Light frost tolerant. Coastal and drought hardy.
Size: Height 1.2m x width 1.5m

Teucrium fruticans, or the Shrubby Germander, has a wide, sprawling habit with woolly, whitish stems and aromatic, grey-green leaves. Light blue-lilac flowers are borne in spring on terminal spikes in late spring and summer. Grows naturally into an arching bush but can be pruned lightly after flowering to maintain shape if required. Plant in borders, cottage and coastal gardens.

Soil: Tolerates a wide range of soils. Ensure it has perfect drainage as wet feet will restrict its growth or can be fatal.
Conditions: Full sun. Drought, wind, salt, frost and coastal tolerant
Size: Height 1.2m x width 1.2m

Anigozanthos Landscape Tangerine Kangaroo Paw is a strappy-leafed plant with tall spikes of bright flowers in tones of orange and gold in spring and summer. The flowers attract birds and are long-lasting as cut blooms. It grows from an underground rhizome, so once established, if the leaves suffer blackening from frost or high winds, the plant can be cut back hard to the ground and will reshoot with fresh clean growth. Feed with a good native fertiliser from late winter to spring.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Drought, light frost and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 1-1.8m x width 1.2m
