Spindly Grevillea

This tall shrub is an ideal candidate as a focal which will give your garden some wow factor. Grevillea endlicheriana is a dense bush of silvery foliage with tall spikes of delicate pink flowers above the foliage in Winter and Spring.

Common everlasting and yellow buttons,

This is a perennial herb native to southern Australia. It is a member of the Asteraceae, the daisy family. The name “everlasting” was inspired by its use as a long-lasting cut flower

Grows extremely well in open, sunny spots and is great in creating a dense bed.

Perfect in rockeries, can be used in pots around plants, and responds well to trimming after flowering to produce a denser growth.

Can tolerate most soils, and can tolerate periods of drought.

Great for most landscaping jobs.

Cut leaf mint bush

Great all round shrub!
also known as Native Thyme, this native mint can be used as a medicinal herb, but now more commonly features in cooking and herbal teas. It’s a highly aromatic shrub, rich in essential oils, giving off a minty aroma when crushed or rubbed. This plant is found throughout NSW along the coastline, in sheltered rainforest margins, beneath sclerophyll forest trees, and around the Central Tablelands.

Native Thyme boasts a more complex flavour than Mentha mints. With hints of pepper and earthy tones, it makes a great flavoursome herb for chicken, fish, emu, roo and lamb dishes. Both the leaves and flowers have minty qualities, and may be steeped in hot water to make a herbal tisane.

To harvest, just pluck fresh leaves off the growing plant, or prune whole stalks at a time. Both leaf and stem may be used — fresh, or chopped and grows up to 2m, and has a proliferation of purple flowers in spring.

This plant is extremely versatile.

Can be used purely for culinary purposes, as you can use the leaves or the berries… don’t use too much as it is quite intense in flavonoids.

This shrub makes a fantastic thick hedge in semi-full shade.

Growing between 2-3m and 1-2m spread, enjoying moist conditions and tolerates frost.

Creamy white flowers in spring, the stems are red with leathery leaves, this plant can easily be pruned and shaped.

Great plant for so many reasons!
