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.

RHS Award of Garden Merit. This Oakleaf Hydrangea variety is particularly beautiful. The double white flowers tinged with lime green arch in clusters down from the deeply lobed mid green foliage. As the flowers age they adopt a pink hue which in turn browns to the appearance of parchment. The foliage colours to match, ageing to a bronze-purple in Autumn. The colder the Autumn the better the colour. A very eye catching specimen plant. Grows to 1.5m high and does best in well drained moist soil.

Ruscus hypoglossum

Ruscus hypoglossum is a fabulous plant for dry shady areas. Indispensable and very valuable for it will grow in the driest darkest conditions. We have used it many times to solve 'planting issues'. The foliage makes great material for floral arrangements and has its own intriguing botanical twist - the apparent leaves are actually modified stems (cladodes). The flowers then appear in the centre of these cladodes. Grows 1m high x 1m wide. Evergreen perennial that looks more like a shrub. Ruscus can be loosely hedged and looks best en masse.
