CORREA 'JETTY RED'
Jetty Red is excellent for use as a garden border, specimen pot plant or as low level planting to brighten up shady areas in the garden. It is a selected compact form of Correa reflexa. This plant produces striking bright red bell shaped flowers from autumn and continues through to spring. Grows well in both a semi-shaded site and full sun. It is adaptable to most well drained soils and it is excellent to use in coastal gardens. This plant is suitable for temperate climates, and once this plant is established Jetty Red will tolerate dry conditions. Correas requires little maintenance other than a tip prune to promote a more compact plant. It is best to initially feed with a slow release native fertiliser to help establish the plant.

This world first double lavender is a beautiful breakthrough in lavender breeding. While regular lavenders have just a few wings at the top of each flower, double lavenders have fragrant, gorgeous wings all the way down the flower head.
They will do the best in Spring but still look stunning all year round. Grow in a well drained, sunny position. Feed in Spring and summer & prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape.
Commonly called the ZZ plant, Zamioculus Zamiifolia loves low light and has low water requirements so it can handle a bit of neglect. Jungle Warrior's bright lime green leaves and stem turn black as the individual shoot matures. The gorgeous dark black leaves will create a great contrast in your indoor jungle.
Suitable for use in rooms with no natural light. Do not overwater. Can be fed with liquid fertiliser every second month.
