PROSTRANTHERA 'PURPLE HAZE'

Prostanthera 'Purple Haze' is a small evergreen shrub with a dense growth habit and a spectacular display of purple flowers during late winter and early spring. Prefers full sun but will tolerate part dappled shade in most well drained moist soils, and requires summer watering when dry. Great for rockeries, pathways or even tubs on the patio. Use a slow release Native Fertiliser to help establish the plant. Mulching around the base of the plant will help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Wax Flowers

Chamelaucium sp.

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.

Excellent for dry areas and water wise gardens

Cucumber 'Lebanese'

Lebanese cucumbers are long and cylindrical in shape with dark green skin, white flesh and a crisp texture. They are smaller, and have smoother skin and a sweeter flavour than the common cucumber.

When selecting the right cucumber for you there are a few things to consider. Regular or burpless, small or large, long or round. The regular cucumbers generally have a bitter skin that requires peeling, whereas you can eat the skin of a burpless and remain indigestion-free. The skin is very good for you!

Cucumbers require a consistently moist, compost rich soil in an open sunny spot. They are a sprawling vine that may be grown up a trellis or wire frame if you wish. Compact cucumber varieties are suitable for pots. Cucumbers should be picked regularly to encourage more flowers and fruit.

They are prone to fungal diseases in humid weather, so avoid overhead watering.
