Eucalyptus websteriana – Websters Mallee

Eucalyptus Websteriana

An attractive small mallee-type Eucalyptus, distinguished by its lovely peeling mini ritchi-style bark and heart-shaped leaves. It has a naturally spreading habit, growing as wide as it does high, with yellow flowers appearing from spring to early summer, followed by decorative seed capsules.

This ornamental tree naturally grows in Western Australia from Esperance to Kalgoorlie on rocky outcrops, so it is happy in heavier soils as well as lighter ones, provided there is good drainage. It has low water needs once established, tolerates light frost, and attracts a wide range of wildlife, from bees to nectar-eating birds and other insects.

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
