Plant of the month: Alyogyne hueglii
Alyogyne hueglii are wonderfully versatile, resilient native shrubs. Their evergreen foliage and long flowering season mean you’ll get year-round interest, whether you pop them into a mixed border or let them shine as standalone feature plants.
Plant of the month: Mulla mulla
In its native habitat in arid Australia, this low-growing perennial erupts into masses of feathery mauve flowers after spring rains, and continues flowering for most of the year. It’s best suited to dryer climates in temperate, arid and dry tropical regions; growing well in rockeries and containers with a good free-draining potting mix.
Plant of the month: Salvia leucantha
This is my favourite salvia and one of my favourite perennials, being long-flowering from late summer through to winter and easy to maintain with gorgeous colour.
Plant of the Month: Zinnia
Zinnias are well-suited to our warming Australian climate, providing bursts of colour and attracting beneficial insects.
