A seedling given to us by Gordon Julian who grew it so beautifully. It has deliciously fragrant pink fringed flowers, and a spreading low groundcovering habit, making it ideal for placing between rocks, or at the front of a border.

Data sheet
Enourmous biennial with a stout woody trunk and silvery downy foliage. Ornamental and a great feature plant. Pink flowers to 2.5 m, often takes two years to flower, needs dry conditions. Photo courtesy of Peter Worgan Mnt Teide Tenerife.
Attractive shrub for the sunny border with apricot foxglove-like flowers in summer. Very drought tolerant but doesn't like frost.
Traditional white mop top Hydrangea, flowers do not discolour with pH variation, plants form a good low hedge or border in shady conditions.
A tall architectural plant useful in dry shade, often found in historic gardens around Tasmania. The foliage is a pleasing dark green and the purple flower spikes are an unexpected bonus when they arrive. Cut back the foliage in late summer to rejuvinate.
A terrific allium from the Hymalayas, large sphaerical flowers up to 10cm across. Grow in well drained soil that dries out well in summer, but doesnt bake. We often add some gravel to ensure the bulbs get sufficient drainage.
A delicate little species with distinctly different flowers from the usual dierama form. These are open bells like a campanula, deep pink in colour, and appear in mid to late summer.
Ornamental origanum with purple flowers, most valued for floral work, and its long flowering period in the summer border. Mild flavour, can also be used in various lamb and poultry dishes.
A long stemmed form suitable for picking. Violet blue flowers in winter and early spring.
I love helianthemums for their abundant flowering, and superb ground covering abilities in poor growing conditions. We found this as a chance seedling and thought it was worth naming and propagating.
A terrific low growing variety for foreground plantings, only just over knee high and easier to manage than some of the larger kniphofia. Colourful burnt orange flowers in summer look good with rudbeckia, grasses and sedums.
Spreading succulent from South Africa with attractive blue grey foliage, useful when landscaping dry areas. Avoid winter wet or excessive irrigation.
Low mounding variety that will trail over a wall or amongst rocks, likes drained drier soil types. Tasmanian native, very pretty plant and surprisingly tough, will withstand summer dry.
Decorative grass with fluffy 'cats tail' seed heads. Does not seed in our summer dry temperate climates, but can be a strong seeder in warmer humid climates if seed heads not trimmed before dispersal.
One of the best deciduous geraniums with rich purple violet flowers and large palmate foliage,very long lived and forms a good sized 60cm across clump. Loves fertility and prefers heavier soil type, not in pots. Flowers in summer, after the early season geraniums.
Beautiful variation of the species from Crete, originally from Marcus Harvey. Winter flowering, and a great compact structure plant in rock gardens amongst dwarf bulbs and cyclamen. Low mounding shape with grassy foliage , cold and drought hardy, long lived and only 25cm high. Overall great plant.
