Plant Selections

Texture – be it shiny, soft, serrated, choose from agave, sedums, grasses, magnolias (Little Gem), ferns, palms.
Form – includes, upright, cascading, clipped and shaped (e.g. liriope, yuccas, box-hedging, topiary, gardenias, lillypillys).
Colour – bold or subtle, flax, capsicums, olives – stunning flower colour when in clematis, magnolias, (new super large flowered Vulcan, Star Wars, Elizabeth) iris, etc.
Perfume – old fashioned violets of many hues, Murraya for an all Summer delight, Daphne, Osmanthus, Sweet Box and of course Roses.
Style – Tuscan/Mediterranean, think of citrus (cumquats, limes, etc), standard olives, pines and rustic and terracotta pots. Cottage – a wealth of lavenders, species geraniums and perennials. Contemporary – look for yuccas, liriope, grasses, topiary and espaliers and hedges.
The unusual – we enjoy sharing a couple of ’specialties’ such as the tiny Iris Cristata, herbaceous paeonies, stunning day lilies and in Spring, salmon oriental poppies.
