Archontophoenix cunninghamiana, the Bangalow Palm, is a tall fast-growing Australian native palm grown for its graceful feather-like fronds, smooth green trunk, and seasonal cream-pink flowers. It brings instant height, texture, and softness to tropical and native-style landscapes.
Bangalow Palm grows to 10-20 metres tall and 3-5 metres wide, forming a clean upright structure that fits neatly into narrow spaces and multi-storey planting schemes. It looks especially effective planted in clumps of two or three at staggered heights, along driveways, in tropical courtyard designs, or around pools where its non-invasive roots are a real advantage.
Bangalow Palm thrives in warm temperate to subtropical regions including NSW, QLD, and frost-free parts of VIC and WA. It performs well in full sun to part shade, tolerates light frost once established, suits humid and coastal environments, and is low maintenance and self-cleaning. Sprays of lilac-mauve flowers are followed by red fruit that attracts native birds.

Enriched Planting Mix is a certified organic blend of Pure Magic Compost, composted animal manure, gypsum, composted coarse bark and a wetting agent, bagged in 30L. It is built to be dug through existing garden soil at planting time rather than used on its own, and the gypsum is what sets it apart from a plain compost.
Gypsum helps break up heavy clay so water and roots can move through it, while the compost and manure return organic matter and nutrient to tired ground. The coarse bark holds structure and keeps air around the root zone, and the wetting agent keeps moisture in the soil longer after rain or watering.
Use it when planting trees, shrubs, roses, fruit trees and exotic garden plants, particularly into clay. Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and 7 centimetres deeper, then mix roughly one third planting mix through the excavated soil. Spread 7 centimetres of that improved soil in the base before setting the plant in.
About Enriched Planting Mix
It is a blend of Pure Magic Compost, composted animal manure, gypsum, composted coarse bark and a wetting agent. Each part has a job. The compost and manure supply organic matter and nutrient, the gypsum works on clay structure, the bark keeps air around the roots and the wetting agent holds moisture in the soil.
It suits exotic garden plants, including roses, ornamental and deciduous trees, fruit trees, shrubs and perennials, and it earns its keep most on heavy clay sites. It is a planting mix rather than a potting mix, so its job is improving soil at planting time. Phosphorus sensitive natives are the one clear exception.
No, not for the phosphorus sensitive ones. The composted animal manure in this blend lifts phosphorus well above what Proteaceae such as Banksia, Grevillea, Hakea and Protea will tolerate, and the result can be leaf burn, dieback and plant death. Use the Native Potting Mix for those species, or plant them into unimproved local soil.
Yes. It is a certified organic product with no chemical additives, which is why the manure and compost in it are fully composted rather than raw. That makes it sound around fruit trees and vegetable beds, and it means you are adding genuine organic matter to your soil rather than a synthetic conditioner.
Work on roughly one third planting mix to two thirds of the soil you dug out of the hole. For a shrub out of a 200 millimetre pot that is only a few litres. An advanced tree going into a large hole will take considerably more. Judge the quantity by the volume of the hole rather than the size of the plant.
It is not a potting mix and should not be used on its own in a container. The blend is designed to be diluted through garden soil, and used straight in a pot it holds too much water and settles badly. For containers, reach for a premium potting mix, or the native mix if you are potting natives.
Yes. Water the plant well several hours before you plant it, then water thoroughly again once the hole is backfilled and the soil firmed down. That first deep watering settles the improved soil around the root ball and drives out air pockets. Keep the water up over the first few months while the roots establish.

Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver Sheen' carries small shimmering silver-green leaves on near-black stems, giving a light airy screen that moves in the wind rather than reading as a solid green wall. It is one of the most widely specified screening plants in Australian landscape design for exactly that reason.
'Silver Sheen' grows to 4 to 6 metres tall but only 1.5 to 2 metres wide at 30 to 60 centimetres per year, which makes it a genuine solution for narrow beds along fence lines and between buildings where height is needed but width is not available. Small cream flowers appear in spring and are lightly fragrant.
'Silver Sheen' grows in full sun to part shade and tolerates light to moderate frost once established, performing from subtropical Queensland through Sydney, Melbourne, Gippsland and Adelaide. It clips well, holds density under regular trimming, and is equally effective as a formal hedge or a loose screen.
About Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver Sheen'
'Silver Sheen' grows to 4 to 6 metres tall and only 1.5 to 2 metres wide, which makes it one of the best options for narrow screening where a tall hedge is needed in a shallow bed.
It grows at 30 to 60 centimetres per year once established, reaching a usable screening height within three to four years with regular water and feeding.
It naturally holds to 1.5 to 2 metres wide and can be trimmed to under a metre with regular clipping, which is why it is so often used in tight side-boundary positions.
Plant 1 to 1.5 metres apart for a dense informal screen, or 80 centimetres apart for a tighter formal hedge. Closer spacing fills in faster but needs more trimming.
'Silver Sheen' handles light to moderate frost once established. Young plants benefit from protection through their first winter in colder inland districts.
Yes. It performs in full sun through to part shade. In shadier positions growth is slightly more open, which suits a softer informal screen.
It performs from subtropical Queensland through Northern NSW, Sydney, the South Coast and tablelands, Melbourne and surrounds, the Western District, Gippsland and Adelaide.
Gardenia augusta 'Magnifica' is a compact evergreen flowering shrub valued for its large highly fragrant double white flowers and lush glossy dark green foliage. From late spring through summer it produces creamy-white blooms up to 10 cm across that perfume the surrounding garden, set against broad leathery leaves that hold their colour year-round.
It performs reliably in full sun to part shade with humus-rich, slightly acidic and free-draining soil. Mature plants reach 1.5 to 2 metres tall and 1 to 1.5 metres wide, forming a dense rounded habit that responds well to light pruning after flowering. Gardenia 'Magnifica' is frost tolerant once established and benefits from regular feeding and watering through the warmer months to support strong flowering.
As a fragrant evergreen flowering shrub for cottage, formal, Japanese-inspired and low-maintenance gardens, in courtyards, entrance plantings, informal hedges and decorative pots near pathways, Gardenia augusta 'Magnifica' brings outstanding perfume, glossy foliage and reliable summer flowering to gardens where its scent can be appreciated up close.
About Gardenia augusta 'Magnifica' Magnifica Gardenia
Gardenia 'Magnifica' flowers from late spring through summer, producing large creamy-white double blooms up to 10 cm across. The flowers are intensely fragrant and the display lasts for several months, with light repeat flowering possible into autumn in warm conditions.
Mature plants reach approximately 1.5 to 2 metres tall and 1 to 1.5 metres wide, forming a dense rounded habit. Growth is moderate at 20 to 40 cm per year, and the plant can be lightly pruned to maintain a more compact size or shaped into a formal flowering hedge.
Gardenia 'Magnifica' performs best in warm temperate to subtropical climates with full sun to part shade. It thrives across coastal NSW, Queensland, frost-free parts of Victoria and South Australia, and warm coastal areas. It prefers humus-rich slightly acidic soil and protection from harsh afternoon sun in hot inland areas.
Gardenia 'Magnifica' is frost tolerant once established and handles light to moderate frost without damage. Young plants benefit from protection in their first winter through frost-prone areas, and severe inland frost should be avoided. Mature plants in established positions hold their foliage and form through cooler months.
Yes. Gardenia 'Magnifica' is excellent in large decorative pots near entrances and courtyards where its perfume can be appreciated up close. Use a quality potting mix designed for acid-loving plants, water regularly through the warmer months, and feed with an acid-loving plant food in spring and summer.
Water regularly during the growing season to keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Feed with an acid-loving plant food in spring and again in mid-summer to support strong flowering. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage dense bushy growth, and mulch annually with an acidic mulch like pine bark.
Yellowing leaves on Gardenia 'Magnifica' usually indicate either iron deficiency in alkaline soil, overwatering, or seasonal cool weather. The most common cause is alkaline soil pH. Apply an iron chelate or soil acidifier, ensure drainage is excellent, and mulch with pine bark to maintain the acidic conditions Gardenias need to thrive.
Melaleuca nesophila, the Showy Honey Myrtle, is an evergreen Australian native shrub to small tree from the south coast of Western Australia. Fine grey green foliage sits on a dense rounded frame over papery bark, and mauve to pink pom pom flowers cover the outer growth through spring and summer.
Mature width is 2 to 4 metres, with height usually settling around 3 to 5 metres, and growth of 30 to 60 centimetres a year. It wants full sun and takes sand, limestone, gravel and moderately heavy soils. Salt wind, drought and light to moderate frost are all handled once the roots are down.
This is a screening and hedging plant first, used along boundaries, on coastal blocks and through council road reserves where conditions are hard and maintenance budgets are thin. Space it at 1 to 1.5 metres for an informal screen. It gives colour, density and habitat value from one low input plant.
About Showy Honey Myrtle
Melaleuca nesophila, or Showy Honey Myrtle, is an evergreen Australian native shrub to small tree from southern Western Australia. It has fine grey green foliage, a dense rounded habit and soft papery bark, and carries mauve to pink pom pom flowers through spring and summer that age to a soft grey.
It spreads 2 to 4 metres wide and generally reaches 3 to 5 metres tall in a garden, though regular trimming will hold it lower. Growth is moderate to fast at around 30 to 60 centimetres a year, so a screen planted from advanced stock closes over within three or four seasons.
For a dense informal screen, plant 1 to 1.5 metres apart. For a tighter formal hedge, bring that in to 80 centimetres. As a feature tree, allow 3 to 4 metres so the full canopy and form can develop, or 3 metres apart along an avenue for a uniform, soft textured line.
Yes, it is one of the better coastal Melaleucas. It tolerates salt laden wind, sandy and limestone soils, and exposed front line positions once established, which is why it is planted so widely along the southern coastline. In very exposed sites it will lean with the prevailing wind, and most people like the result.
The main flush runs through spring and into summer, roughly September to January. Flowers open mauve to purple pink in dense rounded heads across the outer foliage, then age to grey and stay on the plant. Bees and honeyeaters work it heavily while it is out, so expect plenty of activity.
It handles light to moderate frost once established, which covers most coastal and near coastal parts of southern Australia. Young plants are more vulnerable in their first winter, so plant in autumn or early spring and keep them out of low frost hollows. Hard, repeated inland frost will burn new growth.
Tip prune after flowering to keep it dense and stop the base going bare. It takes a hard cut back if it becomes leggy, though remove no more than about a third at a time. Water through the first summer, then it is largely self sufficient. Use a low phosphorus native fertiliser in spring on poor soils.
Chamaerops humilis, the European Fan Palm, is a hardy compact palm native to the western Mediterranean. It forms a clump of multiple stems topped with striking fan-shaped blue-green fronds, adding a strong architectural element to gardens.
European Fan Palm grows slowly to 2-4 metres tall and 1.5-3 metres wide, with a naturally multi-stemmed clumping habit. The compact size and bold form suit Mediterranean and dry-themed landscapes, courtyards, container planting, and grouped feature plantings where texture is wanted.
European Fan Palm is exceptionally tough, thriving in full sun and tolerating drought, salt spray, frost, and poor soils once established. It is one of the most cold-hardy palms available, making it a reliable low-maintenance choice for coastal and water-wise gardens across most of Australia.
About Chamaerops humilis European Fan Palm
Chamaerops humilis grows slowly to 2-4 metres tall and 1.5-3 metres wide, with a multi-stemmed clumping habit.
The European Fan Palm is slow-growing, which makes it easy to keep in scale and well suited to pots and courtyards.
Yes. Chamaerops humilis is one of the most cold-hardy palms available, tolerating frost as well as heat, drought, and coastal exposure.
Yes. Its slow growth and compact clumping form make the European Fan Palm an excellent container plant for courtyards, balconies, and entrances.
Yes. Once established the European Fan Palm is highly drought tolerant and also handles salt spray and poor soils, making it ideal for water-wise and coastal gardens.
Yes. The European Fan Palm has sharp spines along the frond stems, so position it away from high-traffic areas and take care when handling.
The European Fan Palm thrives across most Australian climates in full sun, tolerating coastal exposure, drought, heat, and frost once established.
Casuarina glauca 'Cousin It' forms a dense mat of fine weeping needle-like foliage just 20 to 30 centimetres high, cascading beautifully over walls, edges and rock work. It reads as flowing texture rather than as a conventional groundcover, which is why designers use it so heavily.
'Cousin It' spreads 2 to 4 metres wide at 30 to 50 centimetres per year, filling in steadily without becoming invasive or needing to be cut back. It suppresses weeds once established, holds soil on banks and batters, and works equally well spilling from a raised planter or a large pot.
This Australian native tolerates light to moderate frost once established, along with salt, wind, poor soils and extended dry. It grows in full sun to part shade and needs essentially no maintenance beyond the occasional tidy of a wayward runner.
About Casuarina glauca 'Cousin It'
'Cousin It' stays just 20 to 30 centimetres tall and spreads 2 to 4 metres wide. It is a genuinely prostrate form and will not build up in height over time.
It spreads at 30 to 50 centimetres per year, filling in steadily. Expect two to three seasons to close a mass planting depending on spacing.
Yes. Casuarina glauca is naturally a coastal and estuarine species, and 'Cousin It' inherits strong salt and wind tolerance, which makes it excellent for seaside gardens.
Yes. Once the mat closes over it forms dense cover that suppresses most weed germination, which is a large part of its value in commercial and civic landscapes.
Yes. It is particularly effective spilling over the edge of a large pot, raised planter or retaining wall, where the cascading habit can be seen.
Plant 1 to 1.5 metres apart for a continuous mass. Closer spacing closes the gaps faster but the plants will eventually merge regardless.
It handles light to moderate frost once established. Protect young plants through their first winter in colder inland districts.
Camellia sasanqua 'Setsugekka' is a tall evergreen shrub with large, single to semi double white flowers, the petals slightly ruffled around a centre of golden stamens. Bloom runs from late autumn into early winter. Foliage is small, glossy and dark green, carried densely on an upright, gently spreading frame.
It takes more sun than a japonica and will hold full sun in cooler districts, though part shade suits inland heat. Soil should be well drained and slightly acidic. Growth is 40 to 60 centimetres a year, to 2 to 4 metres tall and 1.5 to 2.5 metres wide. Light frost is tolerated.
This is the standard choice for a tall evergreen screen along a boundary or between neighbouring houses, and it clips readily into a formal hedge. It also stands alone as a feature, or fills a large pot at an entry. The height and density make it useful wherever fence line privacy is the brief.
About Camellia sasanqua 'Setsugekka'
'Setsugekka' is a tall evergreen sasanqua camellia with large single to semi double white flowers, the petals slightly ruffled around a boss of golden stamens. It flowers from late autumn into early winter. Small glossy dark leaves are held densely on an upright, gently spreading shrub used widely for screening.
It reaches 2 to 4 metres tall and 1.5 to 2.5 metres wide, at a rate of roughly 40 to 60 centimetres a year. That upper height is what makes it a genuine screening plant rather than a border shrub. Regular trimming will hold it at any height above about 1.5 metres.
Space plants 1 to 1.5 metres apart for a dense informal screen, or 80 centimetres apart for a tighter formal hedge. Tighter spacing closes the gaps faster but increases competition for water and nutrients, so prepare a continuous trench rather than individual holes and keep irrigation even along the run.
Flowering starts in late autumn and carries into early winter, roughly April through to June across most of southern Australia. Sasanquas flower ahead of japonicas, so this one fills the gap before the japonica season begins. Individual flowers drop cleanly from the plant rather than browning on the bush.
It takes more sun than a japonica and will hold full sun in cooler and coastal districts. In hot inland gardens give it afternoon shade to protect the foliage. It also flowers acceptably in part shade, which makes it one of the more flexible screening plants for a boundary with mixed aspect.
Yes. A pot 40 to 50 centimetres wide suits a single specimen for a courtyard, entry or balcony. Use a free draining camellia and azalea mix, water regularly because containers dry out fast, and feed after flowering. Expect a smaller final size in a container than the same plant would reach in open ground.
Trim once flowering finishes in early winter, taking the new growth back to shape. For a formal hedge, a second light trim in late summer keeps the face tidy. Feed with a camellia fertiliser after pruning, keep mulch over the shallow roots, and water deeply through summer dry spells.
Brachychiton populneus x acerifolius 'Bella Donna' crosses the Kurrajong with the Illawarra Flame Tree, producing a slender upright tree carrying dense lobed foliage. Through late spring and summer it hangs clusters of pink bell shaped flowers along the branches. Unlike its flame tree parent it holds its leaves through the flowering period in most gardens.
Full sun brings the best flowering, and the tree accepts clay, loam or sandy ground provided water moves through it. Once settled in it takes light to moderate frost and long dry spells, inheriting the toughness of the Kurrajong side of the cross. Growth runs about 50 to 80 centimetres a year with very little intervention.
The narrow habit suits nature strips, driveways, courtyards and townhouse gardens where a full sized flame tree would crowd the space. Councils plant it for streets and avenues at roughly 3 metres apart, or 3 to 4 metres for individual specimens. It gives flowering colour without the canopy width of either parent.
About Bella Donna Brachychiton
It is a named hybrid between Brachychiton populneus, the Kurrajong, and Brachychiton acerifolius, the Illawarra Flame Tree. The cross keeps the drought hardiness and neat upright form of the Kurrajong while adding the pink to red bell flowers of the flame tree. It is an Australian native selection grown for street and feature planting.
Expect 6 to 8 metres in height with a canopy 3 to 4 metres across in most Australian gardens, which is roughly a third of the size of a mature Illawarra Flame Tree. The habit stays upright and fairly narrow, so it fits verges and side boundaries where a broad crowned tree would not.
Height gain is around 50 to 80 centimetres a year once the tree is away, which is steady rather than rapid. Growth is quickest in the first few years on a well prepared site with regular water, then slows as the canopy fills out. Advanced stock shortens the wait to a useful size considerably.
Flowering runs through spring and summer, with the heaviest flush from late spring onwards, roughly November into January. The bell shaped blooms are pink through to soft red and are carried in clusters along the branches. Warm dry spring weather produces a stronger display, and trees usually flower from a young age.
Yes. The Kurrajong parentage gives it a deep root system and a genuine tolerance of dry conditions once established, which is why it is used widely in inland and western districts. It still needs regular water through the first two summers. After that, occasional deep soakings in a long dry summer are all it asks for.
For a uniform avenue or street row, plant at 3 metres apart so the canopies meet and read as a continuous line. Where each tree should stand as a separate specimen, allow 3 to 4 metres so the full form can develop. Keep trees a few metres clear of kerbs, footings and underground services.
Water deeply once or twice a week through the first two summers, then taper off. Mulch the root zone but keep mulch away from the trunk collar. Prune only for shape or to remove crossing branches, ideally in late winter before the new season starts. A slow release native fertiliser in early spring supports flowering.

Wodyetia bifurcata, the Foxtail Palm, is a single trunked Australian native palm from Cape York, named for the plumose fronds that radiate around the stem like a brush. The smooth grey trunk swells slightly at the base and carries a clean green crownshaft, with orange red fruit following the small cream flowers.
It grows 8 to 12 metres tall with a crown 3 to 4 metres across, adding roughly 30 to 90 centimetres a year. Full sun to part shade suits it, in free draining soil. Tropical and subtropical Australia is its range, from Darwin and Cairns through to Brisbane and the northern rivers. It is drought tolerant once established but frost sensitive.
It is planted as a driveway avenue, a pool surround, a resort or civic feature and a courtyard specimen, usually 3 to 4 metres apart, or 3 metres for a uniform avenue. The fronds shed cleanly on their own, which keeps ongoing costs down and makes it an easy palm to specify in numbers.
About Foxtail Palm
Wodyetia bifurcata is an Australian native palm, originally from a small area of Cape York in far north Queensland. It has a single smooth trunk, a green crownshaft and plumose fronds where the leaflets sit at many angles around the stem, giving the bushy foxtail look. Orange red fruit follows the small cream flowers.
It grows 8 to 12 metres tall with a canopy spread of 3 to 4 metres. Trunk diameter stays modest, so the footprint at ground level is small even on a mature palm. That combination of height and narrow base is why it works in driveways, pool surrounds and courtyards where floor space is limited.
Moderate to fast, at roughly 30 to 90 centimetres a year depending on warmth, water and feeding. Young palms in the ground in a warm coastal garden sit at the top of that range, while cooler or drier sites run slower. Advanced stock in the larger container sizes gives immediate height and shortens the wait considerably.
No. It is a tropical palm and frost will damage the fronds and can kill young plants outright. Anywhere with regular winter frost is unsuitable, including the tablelands, inland southern Australia and most of Victoria and Tasmania. In marginal areas, plant it in a warm, sheltered position with some overhead protection.
Yes. It handles salt laden wind well and is widely used in beachfront and near coastal landscaping through Queensland and northern New South Wales. Give it free draining soil, since the main risk near the coast is not salt but waterlogging in heavy ground. Water through the first two summers while the root system establishes.
For a feature planting, 3 to 4 metres apart lets each crown develop fully without crowding. For an avenue where a uniform, soft textured line is wanted, 3 metres apart is the usual spacing. Keep them at least 2 metres off buildings and paving so the fronds have room and shed fronds have somewhere to land.
Water regularly through establishment, then it copes with dry spells. Feed with a slow release palm fertiliser in spring and again in summer, since the crown yellows quickly when magnesium or potassium runs short. Fronds shed on their own, so pruning is rarely needed. Remove spent fruit stalks if seedlings in the garden beds are a nuisance.
