BOLD BLOOMS 
LAGERSTROEMIA 'TUSCARORA'

I love a good naming story. Part of the Indian Summer Range, Tuscarora, is named after an Indigenous people of the Northeastern Woodlands in Canada and the United States. It's the hottest pink of the Crepe Myrtles, so named for the elegant clusters of blooms that resemble crinkled crepe paper which are on display for many summer months.
Swedish botanist Magnus von Lagerström was the first to name this species, giving the botanical name Lagerstroemia. They have dark green leaves emerging in spring that change to warm yellow, orange and red tones in autumn offering enduring Indian Summer colour. Lagerstroemias are also grown for their attractive mottled trunk and peeling cinnamon like bark which is in full display in winter.

CAMELLIA SASANQUA 'MARGE MILLER' 
Marge Miller is an unusual groundcover Camellia displaying masses of double pink flowers over deep green foliage enjoyed autumn and winter. Terrific cascading over garden walls, mass planted to form a garden carpet, planted in rockeries or positioned under or around large shrubs or trees.  Marge Miller can also be trained up a stake to form a small cascading weeping standard. Best planted in semi shaded positions protected from the hot afternoon sun.

An attractive small evergreen shrub with soft aromatic, grey-green leaves and perfumed blue/purple flower heads longer than any other english lavander variety. It loves  full sun and is ideal for traditional gardens or planting in pots. Prune after flowering to promote bushy growth. Low water requirements once established. 30 x 30cm 

Perpetual Spinach

Perpetual spinach, also known as perpetual leaf beet or spinach beet, is a variety of Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris) rather than true spinach (Spinacia oleracea).
It is called "perpetual" because it continuously produces leaves over an extended period, providing a reliable source of greens. The plant has dark green, slightly crinkled leaves similar to true spinach but larger and more robust, with thick, edible white stems. Its mild flavor makes it versatile for use in salads, sautés, and soups. Ideal growing conditions include full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil.

Perpetual spinach is low-maintenance, requiring consistent moisture, occasional fertilization, and removal of yellowing leaves. Harvesting outer leaves when they reach 15-20cm allows for continuous growth throughout the season. It is relatively resistant to pests and can withstand mild winters in many regions. Additionally, it can be propagated by stem cuttings. This easy-to-grow leafy green is a nutritious and convenient addition to any vegetable garden.
