Visit product page →Buy 1 for $12.00 / Buy 5 for $50.00
On a quick trip to Cape Town in 2017 we first noticed this compact, dwarf Natal Plum growing in several public landscape installations. Firstly, it was used to grow as a dense ground cover and secondly, it was grown as a low hedge. Carissa macrocarpa 'Green Carpet' has glossy emerald-green leaves and can be used across a range of landscapes from formal clipped gardens, to a spillover plant in coastal plantings. Tolerant of coastal conditions, poor soils and drought once established. A more robust looking plant will be achieved with regular irrigation. Fragrant white star-like flowers in Spring. Edible bright red fruit follow in Summer. Tolerant of mild frosts only. 30cm high x 150cm wide.

Lavender is not what we normally make available for purchase online. However this small batch of 'Grosso' is an exception. We grow a few Lavender in our gravel garden of which 'Grosso' is the only Summer flowering form. It is superbly even in growth making almost perfect spheres. Bred in France in 1972. Dark violet flowers are produced evenly across the plant. Favoured by Lavender farms for its high oil production, stunning appearance and ease of harvest. Requires full sun and good drainage. 80cm x 80cm. The photo was taken at Wanaka Lavender Farm.

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.
