SOME LIKE IT HOT !
The weather is hotting up but there are plenty of beauties that thrive in the heat and can be used as long lasting cut flowers

LEUCADENDRON 'JESTER'

Leucadendron 'Jester' is a compact shrub that will add spectacular, year round variegated coloured foliage, which creates a stunning feature in the garden or in a large pot. Turning red as the weather cools, it is suitable for cut flowers, and ideal for low maintenance and low water use gardens. Fertilise with Native Fertiliser for strong healthy growth in the full sun.

ANIGOZANTHOS 'BUSH GLOW'
'Bush Glow' is a beautiful type of Kangaroo Paw that produces radiant golden orange flowers. With a naturally compact, bushy habit and hardy nature, Bush Glow is perfect for use in pots and containers positioned in a sunny spot where its flowers can gleam in the sunlight. Ideal as a clump in a sunny location, in pots or the garden. 
H 60x 50cm 

BRACTEANTHA 'ELITE AMBER'

Bracteantha Elite Amber proved in trials to be one of the most compact varieties and covered itself with profuse flushes of papery deep orange blooms. The flowers lasted for months, with best flowering from September to May, but Elite Amber will flower continuously if trimmed after a flush is completed. Ideal for garden borders, pots and mixed planters or mixed with other colours in the Elite range in your garden beds. Flowers can be cut and dried for small posies. When Elite Amber has finished a flush or looks tatty, don't hesitate to shear to shape and it will re-flower quickly. Avoid pruning during the cold months in fact keep as much foliage on as possible and wait until the warmer weather. Fertilise seasonally with organic fertiliser.
Full sun to part shade, well-drained soil, Elite Amber hates wet feet!
H 30-50x 30-60cm 

DAMPIERA LINEARIS 'COBALT MOUND'

Damperia linearis 'Cobalt Mound' is a show stopper with vivid blue flowers like no other. It is a small to medium compact shrub with rich lush green foliage. Produces sapphire blue flowers in spring to early summer. Prefers full sun to part shade in well drained soils and tolerates frost. Requires occasional watering during summer, mulching around the base which helps conserve moisture and remove spent flower

Callistemon 'Purple Splendour'

Australian native plants are renowned for their hardiness, once established, and can provide a brilliant display whilst many exotic plants are out of season. Attracting colourful seed and nectar-loving birds, various insects to assist in pollination and perhaps even a lizard or skink searching for a sheltered resting place, these plants are a welcome asset to any garden.
Features lance shaped mid-green foliage on tall, upright bush bearing typical bottle-brush shaped flowers of crimson-purple in both Spring and Summer. Floral 'brushes' borne in clusters of up to eight. Position in full sun for spectacular in flowers.

Spathiphyllum 'Domino' in Orbit Planter
We love these new planters! Pair with the variegated Peace Lily, Spathiphyllum 'Domino' for a great addition to a desk, bedside table or a great gift! Position in a bright room indoors away from direct sunlight. The plant will produce more variegation (white streaks on the leaves) in a brighter position. The leaves will droop slightly when it needs water, or water when the soil has dried out slightly. Fertilise with Maxicrop in the warmer months to boost growth.

Hydrangeas Galore
Hydrangeas are looking absolutely spectacular this year, with loads of colours and varieties to choose from.
The perfect gift as a living bunch of flowers!

TERRIFIC TRUMPET FLOWERS

Rhubarb

A large attractive plant with deep green leaves and red stems that are excellent for desserts. 


An easy to grow clumping shrub will grow in most parts of the garden. It prefers rich soil and regular moisture. Do not let it dry out during summer. Make sure to grab some Tomato Veggie Dust to stop those pesky caterpillars eating the leaves. 

Harvest as needed and give regular applications of Maxicrop Seaweed Fertiliser to keep the plant healthy. 

The stems of the rhubarb should be used as the leaves are toxic if eaten. Chop the stems and place in a pot with a centimetre of water. Bring to the boil, then simmer, stirring constantly until the stems lose their shape and become a soft mash. Sugar, stevia or honey, maple syrup can be added as needed. The stewed rhubarb can be eaten hot or cold with ice cream or mixed into a tart, pie or crumble.
