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 excellent dwarf Olive. Perfect for hedging where the foliage reaches all the way to the ground. We have it planted surrounding our driveway and it gets many comments. Can be kept clipped 1 x 1m, or grown to 2.5m high. Tough for coastal or inland areas. Frost tolerant. Makes an excellent table olive.

Sarcococca confusa is an easily grown low maintenance shrub which thrives in shady conditions, even damp shade. It has deep green glossy foliage with a wavy margin which can be clipped into a hedge. The aromatic white flowers are fairly inconspicuous but the fragrance fills the air giving rise to the common name 'Sweet Box'. Once established 'Sweet Box' is tolerant to dry conditions. Although it is fairly slow growing, Sarcococca confusa is very rewarding over time. Pest free. 1.2 - 1.5m high if left unpruned.

Autumn foliage ranges from yellow orange to pretty plum purple depending on how cold the air temperature is in Autumn.
