Eucalyptus ‘Silver Princess’

Eucalyptus caesia

This beautiful ornamental tree can grow up to 6-8metres tall with a gentle weeping, pendulous growth habit. Large pink to red blossoms contrast with yellow stamens, putting on a flower show from Winter to Spring – which honeyeaters also love. Narrow, leathery leaves and bark that’s initially smooth red-brown shed in curls and age to expose new bark greenish or yellow-brown bark add to their decorative appeal. Try this variety in temperate areas of Australia with lower rainfall and humidity; it will thrive in most soil types as long as they are well-drained. Its open growth habit also allows for underplanting.

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
