Digiplexis

A couple of years ago the gardening world in the UK, Europe and America was bewitched by these new plants, the result of some brilliant hybridising by the venerable old English company Thompson and Morgan. Cross pollinating frost hardy Foxgloves with the rather tender Canary Island Isoplexis canariensis resulted in these incredibly long flowering, easily grown border plants.

This breakthrough hybrid carries tall stems of large, densely packed flowers in rich and unique colours. They will flower longer than each of their parents and are happy in any sunny or lightly shaded spot which doesn’t parch during summer.

Digiplexis have done very well here at Lambley in a north facing border, although they would be just as happy in a little light shade. Whilst needing regular summer watering, they are tough and, in our experience, problem-free. They are frost-hardy in most if not all Australian gardens. Last year in our own garden they were in flower from late spring until mid-autumn. Read more about Digiplexis

The beautiful Winter Rose is often one of the first flowers to pop up, brightening the gloomy winter days and paving the way to spring.

Whilst ideal in dappled to full shade or under deciduous trees or shrubs, many of these will do well in sun as long as they are kept well-watered. See individual plant listings for particular information on each variety.

If these are planted between now and mid-autumn, they will flower beautifully this coming winter. Read more about Hellebores

Hydrangea

Hydrangeas are a much-loved plant that featured in many an Australian garden during the last century and provide fond memories for their generous flowers and cooling presence. In hot inland districts it would be as well to plant them in a spot that is protected from the hottest sun and fiercest wind and don't allow to dry out. As good size shrubs they are quite drought resistant once mature. When grown in pots these benefit from a regular feed of a slow-release fertiliser every 8 to 10 weeks. Read more about Hydrangeas
