Beautiful silver blue upright foliage is this native grass' main feature. We've loved this grass ever since we acquired it over 15 years ago. It can reach over 150cm in good soil, less in poorer soils. Tough.

Casuarina 'Green Wave' is one of our preferred native shrubs that thrives in our climate and heavy clay soils. Mid-green soft foliage and compact growth create a unique textured mound approximately 2m x 2m if left unpruned. Can be clipped to enhance the ball shape if desired. Handles wet or dry, hot or cold weather, coastal positions or inland. A very versatile shrub! Prefers a sunny location.

Probably the most planted Australian native true grass in the current market, and with good reason. It's great for mass planting, borders and native gardens. Maintenance is minimal, needing only a cut back to ground level once a year. Nafray® handles all soil types and is drought tolerant and frost resistant. Ivory beige inflorescence appear in late Summer, early Autumn and continue until May becoming more wheaten in colour as they age. In warm and wet weather areas (QLD and Nth NSW) there may be a possibility of a little self seeding however it is native and non invasive. A high quality plant, somewhat shorter than the original parent plant - Pennisetum alopecuroides. 90 x 90cm.

In our attempt to experiment with native grasses for landscape use we found Poa gunnii. This Poa is a Tasmanian endemic tussock grass that grows well in alpine regions and on the coast in Tasmania. We have found that it makes a great balcony container plant in our extreme climate (nothing like Tassie). We are conducting more in-ground trials but thought we would offer a few for sale for anyone else willing to experiment. Suggested for cooler climes. 60 x 60cm.

An Australian native hybrid with pinky purple flower heads when first open, fading to a wheaten colour with time. Great for mass planting, borders and native gardens. Cutting back in Winter is the only maintenance required. Purple Lea® handles all soil types and is frost and drought tolerant. In warm and wet winter areas (QLD & Nth NSW) there may be a possibility of some self seeding, but it is native and non invasive. Clumps wonderfully with beautiful arching leaves that reach 90cm in height.
