Woolly Bush

adenanthos cunninghamii ‘Lighthouse’

Suitable for a range of applications, the Lighthouse is useful for screening, informal hedges, providing textural contrast in gardens and looks great in pots thanks to its tall, pillar-like shape. The silvery, soft foliage is attractive in all seasons and the small red flowers that appear in spring are popular with nectar eating birds. It can grow to a manageable height of 1.5 metres and benefits from pruning after flowering to encourage strong and compact growth.

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
