Leptospermum 'Purple Haze'
‘Purple Haze’ is a medium sized hardy shrub growing to approximately 1.5 metres tall. In spring it has brilliant large deep purple flowers. This tea tree will grow in a wide range of climates and soil types. It is suitable for the smaller garden, shrub beds or as a low screen.
Leptospermum 'Lipstick'
‘Lipstick’ is an upright shrub to approximately 1.5m tall. In spring it is covered in attractive bright pink flowers. ‘Lipstick’ is a hardy plant that will grow in a wide range of soil types and climates.
Leptospermum 'Riot'
Leptospermum ‘Riot’ is an upright shrub growing to approximately 1.5 metres high x 1 metre across. In spring it is a sensation with a burst of bright carmine flowers.
Leptospermum polygalifolium 'Copper Glow'
A moderately open shrub to 3m tall by 2m wide after 7 years.
The young stems are reddish and the narrowly oblanceolate to narrowly
elliptical leaves are up to 20mm long by 2mm wide. They are bronze-green on
the upper surface and paler beneath. The five petalled flowers are white
and approximately 16mm diameter. The fruits are 6mm diameter with the
typical high dome of the species.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar differs from other forms of L. polygalifolium in
having bronze-green colour to the upper surface of the leaves and reddish
stems of the new growth.
Lomandra longifolia 'Peak Alone Limeglow'
Lomandra 'Peak Alone Limeglow' grows to a height of 40 to 45cm and up to 1m across. The minute cream and brown flowers appear in September to October. The main feature of the cultivar is the extremely attractive variegated foliage.
Diagnosis:
The main difference between this cultivar and the usual form of the species is the variegation of the leaves. The variegation is reasonably regular over the leaf blade and no reversion has been noted. It is said to be a more compact plant than the usual form.
Macropidia fuliginosa 'No Black'
The growth and habit of this cultivar are well within the
usual range of growth forms of Macropidia. Flowering stems of container
grown plants are 100cm high and divaricately branched. Flowers are 45-55mm
long including stamens and up to 40mm wide when the perianth lobes reflex.
The stellate hairs on the perianth are mostly yellow green mixed with grey
orange, towards the ovary they increase in number where they become dense
overlying almost black hairs. The grey orange hairs fade with age to white
especially towards the perianth lobes. Sparse grey hairs are found on the
upper scape. Inside the perianth the lower 2 lobes in particular, at the
point where they reflex have a tinge of black amongst the glabrous shiny
dark green colouring. The black is not evident on the normal forms of
Macropidia growing at Perth Zoo. Whilst the reflexed perianth lobes curl
back as the flowers age they appear to curl back faster in this cultivar
initially at a 90 degrees angle giving the appearance of an open petaloid
flower with only a short portion of the ends of the lobes curling inwards.
Diagnosis:
Habit and form similar to the usual forms of Macropidia. Its
main distinguishing features are the unusual flower colour, predominantly
yellow/green and the open petaloid-like appearance of the maturing flowers.
Melia azedarach 'Lady Gwenda'
This cultivar differs in its variegated foliage. All other
features of the cultivar are as for M. azedarach.
Diagnosis:
The main feature of this cultivar is the variegation on most
leaves and the yellow striation on the fruits. The variegation is
irregular, with some leaflets almost totally yellow while others are the
usual green.
Lomandra hystrix 'LHBYF'
Mat Rush which grows to 1.5m – 1.8m high x 1.2m – 1.5m wide with pale yellow fragrant flower heads from September to November. Full sun to heavy shade.
Correa alba var. alba 'Blush'
Erect medium sized shrub to c. 2m x 2m with a dense habit.
Branchlets finely tomentose with rust-coloured stellate hairs becoming
green and glabrous with occasional clusters of stellate hairs. Simple
leaves broad elliptic or sub-circular, 20 mm x 20 mm. Leaf tips slightly
emarginate, leaf bases oblique, venation reticulate, margins slightly
recurved. Upper surfaces of mature leaves dark green and coriaceous with
occasional minute hairs. Upper surfaces of young leaves minutely tomentose.
Corolla 10 mm x 10 mm with petals split to calyx, largely white around
margins with pale pink spreading along petal from throat. Peak flowering is
from April to June in most districts with spasmodic flowering throughout
the year.
Diagnosis:
The normal flower colour for C. alba var. alba is white. Various
forms with pink petals occur naturally in both Victoria and Tasmania. This
is one of the naturally occurring forms from Victoria. The descriptive name
'Blush' has been used to differentiate this plant from other C. alba var.
alba forms which have white petals. The size and habit of the plant
conforms to other C. alba var. alba forms.
Correa 'Pink Delight'
Prostrate shrub to c. 40 cm x 2-3 m with a moderately dense
habit. Branchlets and stems green, glabrous with occasional rust-coloured
stellate hairs. Simple cordate leaves, 28 mm x 14 mm, with obvious pattern
of oil glands, petioles 6 mm. Leaf apices obtuse, leaf bases oblique,
venation reticulate, margins entire. Upper surfaces of mature leaves dark
green and glabrous. Upper surfaces of young leaves glabrous with occasional
rust-coloured stellate hairs. Lower surfaces pale green, glabrous with
occasional white stellate hairs and scattered rust-coloured stellate hairs.
Corolla cylindrical 40 mm x 15 mm, pale pink with cream tips. Peak
flowering is from May to July in most districts.
Diagnosis:
The glabrous leaves of this cultivar conform to descriptions for
C. pulchella by Wilson (1998). The flower is larger than Wilson's range for
C. pulchella and the cream tips are an unusual variation. C. pulchella
flowers tend to have only one colour from calyx to tip rather than two.
There may be some affinity with C backhouseana in this seedling. The
cultivar flower is distinctive because of its size which is larger than
most C. pulchella flowers and because of its colour which is different from
other C. pulchella hybrids, e.g., 'Dusky Bells', 'Pink Mist', 'Mannii'. It
differs from C. 'Firebird' in flower size and colour, in size of plant and
growth habit and in leaf shape and tomentum.
