Ipheion sellowianum
You can always expect a stand out selection of very kool plants also, at Ruth & Peter Donnally’s Coachwood stall. Among so many faves across their tables just bulging with horticultural treasure, you can expect a good supply Ipheon sellowianum the golden Star Flower. Excellent ground covering companion to autumn white flowering Zephyranthes candida the Autumn Crocus.
Kalanchoe fedtchenkoi dwarf
Sometimes best contrasts to ornamental grasses with good humidity tollerance like ultra fine sage green Poa ‘Eskdale’, are found in the rubbery pink and eau de Nil green scallops of Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi dwarf forms as a nice little texture rug.
Senecio amaniensis
Or you might have a decent sheet of glossy but over homogenous glossy green Billbergia pyramidalis that pokes out into the sun, for a nice contrasting splodge of cochineal Senecio amaniensis. Crassula ‘Springtime’
Or what could be nicer as a break from Mini Mondo Grass, to use the rich coffee shades of Crassula ‘Springtime’ between that brick or salt textured concrete paver slabs … heaven 🙂
DGN readers, there’s one Paradisus design I can show you especially, that just seems to give more every year.
Ian & Noelene Dawes Cremorne rooftop is an exception…. and do you know, you can see Better Homes & Gardens presenter Jason Hodges show how easy this unirrigated space, made from exciting DGN succulent and water storing plants, is roaring away this winter. Hope you can tune in for planting ideas in your own designs.
Better Homes & Gardens, 7pm Channel 7, today Fri 24th July
Specialist Growers Marc & Stephanie Grubski at Glenorie have been well known to me over many years for beautifully cultured bromeliads and impeccable facilities in Harrisons Lane. Bromeliad Garden Nursery stock always distinguished itself in the market place with plants that were well hardened to garden conditions. Marc & Stephanie have always worked with this in mind, now the time has come to sell their bromeliad business, its stock offer maintains a broad fit across most outdoor growing conditions.
Guzmania hybrids beautifully grown
Now focusing available time and resources on year round production rose growing, an opportunity exists for new interest to take over the reins.
Stock comprises of variety of 20 000 plants including Guzmanias, Vrieseas, Neoregelias and Alcantareas as main lines.
All infrastructure and equipment will be included.
Marc & Stephanie are prepared to provide extensive training to new owners. Favourable leasing agreement can be negotiated and will include substantial free of lease period.
Huge tax benefits because this is primary production and the business will have very high depreciation.
