A choice cultivar selected by David Glenn at Lambley Nursery notable for its shorter more upright foliage that better reveals clear lavender blooms for an extended period over winter. Forms permanent compact clumps of dark green, strappy foliage in sun or light shade.

For any reasonably well drained soil, summer irrigation optional.

All the Winter Iris are excellent candidates for that miserable strip against the south side of the house were it is too shaded in winter and too sunny in summer for lesser plants.

An upright evergreen shrub tolerant of dry conditions. Coarsely textured deep green lance shaped leaves occur in pairs on erect woody stems. At the top of each stem during autumn and winter dense whorls of bright orange tubular flowers are produced. Attracts nectar feeding birds. Very tough.

A Maltese species with neat rosettes of dark green, rounded leaves forming a low shrubby mound and bearing a profusion of tiny, pale lavender flowers on fine, branching scapes that last all summer.

Terribly adorable in any well drained soil and remarkably shade tolerant though maximum sun and exposure yields higher definition. Salt tolerance and a love for coastal conditions should be taken for granted as with much of the genus. Cold tolerance questionable though it so far seems able to handle any frosts W.A. can throw at it. Self sows when happy.

Annual removal of spent flowers should be all the effort ever required to keep it looking its best.

Makes a fine potted specimen, at least for a few years, easily mistaken by visitors as some challenging alpine and bolstering your horticultural street cred.

A perennial form of the common garden stock.

Highly perfumed single white flowers are born in fat spikes emerging from silver rosettes of lance shaped foliage carried on woody stems and becoming shrubby with age though after several years becoming too woody and then best removed to make way for the plentiful seedlings that usually appear.

Leaner more exposed positions give more attractive and lasting results but easily grown in any well drained soil, adores alkaline coastal sand. Summer irrigation unnecessary.
An essential in cottage style or Victorian period gardens.

A mound forming, densely clumping, woody rootstocked, evergreen perennial, extremely tolerant of dry soils and exposure. Whorls of rich blue-mauve flowers, held along slender stems, are borne profusely throughout the warmer months. Cut to the ground anytime it is looking tatty and you will quickly be rewarded with a new crop of the heart shaped, toothed, grey green leaves.

A superior plant, of better colour and habit than the generic seed raised N. faassenii commonly encountered and which regrettably seem to have ruined the reputation of Catmints in this country.
A garden staple.

Small, pale pink, dark throated, hibiscus flowers are profusely borne on a mound forming, open shrub bearing small, arrow shaped, dark green, toothed leaves.

From central South America and questionably native to the east coast of Australia, it is dependably hardy in any soil with a hint of summer moisture and where it typically self sows.

Occasionally encountered flowering and flourishing in gardens of older areas long after the other plants have succumbed to the rigours of summer or time.

Cut back hard when necessary and while making active basal growth.

Quick and easy.
