Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus macrocarpa

Mottlecah is an interesting and beautiful addition to any garden with space for it to spread laterally. This small mallee tree with its large flowers, silver green foliage and large gumnuts with a silver, powdery coating provide many decorative features. It’s also loved by fauna such as nectar-loving honeyeaters.

Flowering from Spring to early Summer, the vibrant red, bristly blooms can be prolific and as large as 10cm in diameter – the largest sized flowers of all the eucalypts. Best planted in Mediterranean climates with dry summer weather (they are shorter lived in more subtropical climates).

Everlasting Daisy
Endemic to Western Australia, this annual everlasting daisy is a go-to-choice for creating pretty native wildflower meadow effects in your garden. With flowers ranging from pure white to deep pink with contrasting bright yellow or deep black centres, each stem is topped with a flower appearing from August to November that opens in full sunshine, closing at night or in wet conditions. Can attract a range of bees and other pollinating insects to your garden. Be sure to grow in sandy open soil in sun to part shade, feed with native fertilizer and water in dry weather and cut back old flowers to encourage reshooting. Everlastings can also be dried by hanging upside down after cutting – pick in bud, they will open as they dry and retain their colour. H-0.2-0.7m W-0.2-0.4m
