This is a stunning WA grevillea, previously not well known in cultivation due to difficulty in growing it, new graft combinations are now allowing it to see some favour.
A real daisy this time!
Hi all! I need help & would so appreciate some advice.
My partner & I bought a young Tuckeroo & olive trees from a nursery & planted them a couple weeks ago. The olive trees seem to be doing ok but I noticed several leaves on the Tuckeroo have developed brown spots.
I’ve attached a picture. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
We planted it according to the supplier’s advice & have been watering it daily. We’re very inexperienced with gardening & would appreciate any helpful tips!
Looks like a daisy, but actually in the Myrtaceae family. Beautiful, but unfortunately difficult to grow.
I have a sneaking suspicion this is actually Actinodium sp. Fitzgerald River, but it isn’t labelled as such by the ANBG, where I took this photo.
Received an Australian native bouquet as a present but worried about them being toxic to cats.
Stunning little WA native. Also a good rootstock for less hardy relatives.
Hello,
As per title I’d like a hedge that will serve to mitigate the heat reflected by the colorbond and serve as a windbreaker, habitat refuge and food source for the wildlife.
Basically the ideal height would be kept between 1.8 and 2m high and 1 and 1.5 wide. Six in total.
In one spot I’d prefer if the height was 1m so might need something different there.
Ideally I’d love something like Callistamon Ivanhoe, Pink Champagne, Sugar Candy or Silver Cloud or Gravellia Dorothy Gordon but I don’t know how they would go with being pruned, coastal winds or the high heat from the colorbond.
I have more room to work with for the right hedge but ideally would like to do a square of the one single type of hedge and put a bench in the middle for a little retreat within the garden.
Recommendations gratefully appreciated. Location: Melbourne.
I’ve forgotten what I planted! I think I need to move this plant as it’s not enjoying life but want to understand its conditions. However, I’ve forgotten what it is.
This is a hybrid of A. huegelii and A. hakeifolia. A fabulous medium shrub
