Superb variety with attractive glossy foliage and rich golden blooms in winter. This variety prunes well and does not develop the scraggly appearance of other varieties if trimmed once a year.
The low growing spreading form of this cistus, it will get to about knee high an a metre or so across. Beautiful with prostrate rosemary, Euphorbia, and Salvia nemorosa.
Drought hardy silver foliage plant for topiary and background, use in place of Italian lavenders which are disappointing and die out after a few years. Attractive blue flowers, drought tolerant.
Traditional hedging plant which looks good all year round and forms compact tight growth. Ideal for edging pathways, borders and formal plantings.
The silvery foliage in combination with the abundant single soft pink flowers creates a lovely effect. Like a wild rose but much easier to look after and without the thorns.
Medium hydrangea with large heads of blue lacecaps. Note all blue hydrangea need acid soil to produce correct colouring; in alkaline soil they will tend toward pink.

Can often be bicoloured, usually blue and purple depending on soil pH pink if alkaline. Fluffy rounded flower heads, vigorous long flowering.
Our local banksia which is widespread across Tasmania. This is the upright form which makes a large shrub or small tree which is lovely as a specimen, or clips well as a hedge or screen. Also a good pot plant.

Beautiful grey foliage variety with musk pink flowers in early summer. Trim as lavenders and salvia.
The best dwarf "English" hedging lavender, which only grows to 60 cm or so. Trim after flowering to encourage bushy plants. Long-lived and not messy like other varieties.
One of the better Westringia erimicola cultivars that shapes very well, and provides a lasting dense hedge or screen. Lavender flowers and great bird habitat, avoid winter wet.
Sky blue hydrangea, lighter in bud. In neutral or alkaline soil it tends to be light pink. Note all blue hydrangea need acid soil to produce correct colouring; in alkaline soil they will tend toward pink.
This is the best variety for drying and essential oil production, as it has a higher than usual oil concentrate in the leaves. Used in the production of cosmetics and fragrances.
