Camellia sasanqua 'Paradise Blush' carries delicate white flowers edged with soft pink through autumn and winter, filling the gap when most gardens have nothing in bloom. Glossy dark evergreen foliage holds the plant together for the rest of the year.
'Paradise Blush' grows to 2 to 4 metres tall and only 1.5 to 2.5 metres wide at 30 to 50 centimetres per year, with a naturally dense upright habit. Unlike most camellias it takes full sun, which makes it one of the few flowering evergreens that will hedge an exposed boundary.
'Paradise Blush' tolerates light to moderate frost once established and wants free-draining, slightly acidic soil with consistent moisture. It clips well, holds density under trimming, and performs reliably in large pots as well as in the ground.
About Camellia sasanqua 'Paradise Blush'
'Paradise Blush' grows to 2 to 4 metres tall and 1.5 to 2.5 metres wide. Its narrow habit makes it well suited to hedging in beds where width is limited.
Flowering runs through autumn and winter, with white blooms edged in soft pink. Sasanqua camellias flower earlier than japonica types, which flower in late winter and spring.
Yes. Sasanqua camellias tolerate full sun far better than japonica types, which is why 'Paradise Blush' works as a hedge on exposed boundaries and western walls.
Plant 80 centimetres to 1 metre apart for a dense formal hedge, or 1.5 metres apart for a looser informal screen.
Prune straight after flowering finishes in late winter. This gives the plant a full growing season to set the buds for the following autumn's display.
Free-draining, slightly acidic soil with consistent moisture. Mulch with composted pine bark and feed with a fertiliser formulated for acid-loving plants after flowering.
It handles light to moderate frost once established. Protect young plants through their first winter in colder inland districts.

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.

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.
Murraya paniculata, known as Orange Jasmine, is one of the most popular hedging and fragrant feature shrubs in Australia. The glossy dark green foliage is densely packed from the base, and the clusters of intensely fragrant white flowers appear in repeated flushes through the warmer months, scenting entire gardens on warm evenings.
Murraya grows to 2-4 metres tall and 1.5-3 metres wide, and is most commonly maintained as a 1.5-2.5 metre clipped hedge with regular pruning. The dense habit, fast growth, and excellent response to shaping make it the go-to choice for fragrant boundaries, courtyard screens, and entrance plantings, particularly across NSW and QLD where it thrives.
Murraya is fast establishing, low maintenance, and reliably evergreen. It performs best in warm temperate to subtropical climates and frost-free parts of southern Australia, in full sun to part shade with well-drained soils. Once established, occasional light pruning keeps the hedge tight and encourages repeat flowering flushes. This listing runs the full range from 200mm and 250mm tubestock up to advanced 100L and 200L specimens, so you can plant a young hedge and grow it on, or start with mature stock for height and screening in the first season.
Two trained forms are also available. The 50cm Standard Form is a clipped head carried on a clear straight stem, the classic lollipop shape for framing an entry or repeating down a driveway. The 90L Ball Form is a specimen already clipped to a dense sphere, ready to place. Both arrive trained, so the shaping and the growing-on time are already done. Every other size on this listing is the natural bushy form, supplied as a shrub for hedges and screens you clip yourself.
About Murraya paniculata Orange Jasmine
Both are pre-clipped, but they sit at different heights. The Standard Form is a clipped head on a clear straight stem, so the foliage sits at eye level and you can plant underneath it. The Ball Form is a sphere sitting low to the ground, used for pots, bed corners and entry pairs. They cost more than the shrub sizes because the training and the growing-on time are already done.
Murraya paniculata grows to 2-4 metres tall and 1.5-3 metres wide, but is most commonly maintained as a 1.5-2.5 metre hedge with regular pruning. The Standard and Ball Forms are held permanently at their clipped size.
Murraya is fast-growing, adding 40-80cm per year once established in warm conditions.
Murraya produces clusters of intensely fragrant white flowers in flushes throughout the warmer months, typically September to May across Australia. The scent resembles orange blossom and carries on warm evenings. Flowering is lighter on the heavily clipped Standard and Ball Forms.
Yes. Murraya is one of the most popular evergreen hedging shrubs in Australia, particularly in NSW and QLD, thanks to its glossy foliage, fragrant flowers, and tolerance of pruning.
Plant 60-80cm apart for a dense formal hedge, or 1 metre for a more relaxed informal screen. Those spacings suit the 200mm through 45L sizes. Advanced 50cm, 75L, 100L and 200L plants already carry a wide canopy, so allow 1 to 2 metres between them and they will knit together quickly. Standards are typically placed in pairs at an entry or repeated at 2 to 3 metre centres.
Murraya thrives in warm temperate to subtropical regions including NSW, QLD, and frost-free parts of VIC, SA and WA. It is sensitive to heavy frost and is best avoided in cold inland areas.
Yes. The smaller sizes move happily into large pots (45L+) and are a popular choice for balcony screening, fragrant courtyards, and entrance plantings. The Standard and Ball Forms were made for pots. The advanced 100L and 200L plants are heavy and root hungry, so plant those in the ground rather than potting them on.
Podocarpus falcatus grown as Clouds is a living sculpture. Years of careful pruning shape the fine dense evergreen foliage into layered rounded tiers held clear of one another on an exposed framework, giving the Japanese cloud-pruned form that reads as architecture rather than planting.
Each specimen is individually shaped, so height and proportion vary. The plant is held at display scale by pruning rather than allowed to run to the 15 to 25 metres the species reaches naturally, and stays around 1.5 to 2.5 metres wide. Growth is slow at 20 to 40 centimetres per year, so the form holds between trims.
Cloud-pruned Podocarpus suits entries, courtyards, pool surrounds and any position where a single object needs to carry the design. It grows in full sun to part shade and is frost sensitive, so it is best in frost-free or protected positions.
About Podocarpus falcatus Clouds
It is a Podocarpus falcatus shaped over many years so the foliage forms distinct layered rounded tiers on an exposed branch framework. The technique is Japanese in origin and each specimen is individually trained.
Height depends on the individual specimen and how it has been trained. Width is generally 1.5 to 2.5 metres. Pruning holds the plant at display scale rather than letting it reach its natural size.
Trim two to three times a year to keep the cloud layers distinct and prevent them merging. Slow growth of 20 to 40 centimetres per year means the shape holds well between trims.
No. It is frost sensitive and may be damaged by frost. Choose a frost-free or well-protected position, particularly for an advanced specimen.
Yes. Cloud-pruned specimens are often grown in large decorative pots at entries and in courtyards, where the sculptural form can be seen against a wall. Use a free-draining mix.
It performs in full sun through to part shade. In deeper shade growth is more open, which makes the cloud layers harder to maintain cleanly.
As a single feature at an entry, in a courtyard, beside a pool or against a plain rendered wall, where the silhouette carries the design. It is not intended for group or hedge planting.
Correa 'Tucker Time Dinner Bells' is a compact Australian native shrub with a rounded bushy habit and small glossy dark green leaves. Its feature is the flowers, large pendulous tubular bells in red to orange with greenish yellow tips, hanging along the stems through the cooler months when little else is out.
It grows in full sun or part shade in free draining soil and takes light to moderate frost once established. Growth is around 20 to 40 centimetres a year, reaching roughly 1 to 1.2 metres across and a similar height. It tolerates dry spells, coastal conditions and low fertility, and wants no phosphorus rich fertiliser.
Use it in native and bird attracting gardens, as an informal low hedge, in borders, in pots, or as underplanting beneath taller natives and eucalypts. It is one of the few shrubs that puts on a real display through autumn and winter, which makes it worth having in a garden that otherwise goes quiet.
About Dinner Bells Correa
It is a hybrid Australian native correa bred in the Tucker Time series for large pendulous bell flowers and a neat compact habit. The flowers are red to orange with pale green tips and hang from the stems in numbers. The foliage is small, glossy and dark green, and the plant is evergreen.
It forms a rounded shrub roughly 1 to 1.2 metres wide and a similar height, growing at about 20 to 40 centimetres a year. The habit is naturally bushy so it rarely needs corrective pruning. A light trim after the main flowering flush keeps it dense and stops the base opening up over the years.
The main display runs from late autumn through winter and into early spring, roughly May to September, with scattered flowers at other times. That winter timing is the point of the plant, since it fills the gap when most gardens have little colour. Flowering is heavier in an open sunny position than in shade.
Yes. The tubular flowers are shaped for honeyeaters, and eastern spinebills, New Holland honeyeaters and wattlebirds work them steadily through winter when other nectar is scarce. Native bees visit as well. Planting a group of three or more rather than a single specimen makes the patch far more useful to birds.
Both work. Full sun produces the densest growth and the heaviest flowering, while part shade suits it in hot inland gardens and still gives a good display. It is one of the more shade tolerant natives, which is why it is often used under established trees. Avoid heavy shade and wet, poorly drained ground.
Space plants about 70 to 80 centimetres apart for a continuous low informal hedge, given the mature width of 1 to 1.2 metres. For a looser mass planting go out to 1 metre. In borders or as underplanting, single plants set 1 metre or more from their neighbours keep their rounded shape.
Water through the first two summers, then only during extended dry spells. Mulch with a coarse organic mulch and feed once in spring with a native fertiliser low in phosphorus. Trim lightly after the main flowering to keep the shape tight. It has no significant pest problems and dislikes waterlogged soil more than anything else.
Leptospermum obovatum 'Starry Night', commonly known as the Starry Night Tea Tree, is a compact evergreen Australian native shrub valued for its distinctive deep burgundy-purple foliage and masses of small white star-shaped flowers through spring. The fine dark foliage holds its colour year-round and provides outstanding contrast against the bright white spring flowering, making it one of the most striking small Australian native shrubs available.
It performs reliably in full sun with well-drained soil and adapts to a wide range of Australian climates from subtropical Queensland through to cooler temperate regions. Mature plants reach approximately 1.5 to 2.5 metres tall and 1 to 2 metres wide, forming a dense compact shrub that responds well to light pruning. Once established it is highly drought tolerant, frost hardy and copes with coastal exposure, making it an exceptionally low-maintenance native feature.
As a striking dark-foliage Australian native for modern, native, coastal, wildlife and low-maintenance gardens, in informal hedges, feature plantings, mixed shrub borders and as a colour contrast against green or silver foliage, Leptospermum 'Starry Night' brings year-round burgundy foliage, brilliant white spring flowering, native bird and pollinator attraction and reliable hardiness in a compact, design-friendly form.
About Leptospermum 'Starry Night' Tea Tree
Mature plants reach approximately 1.5 to 2.5 metres tall and 1 to 2 metres wide, forming a dense compact rounded shrub. Growth is moderate to fast at 30 to 50 cm per year in suitable conditions, and the plant can be pruned to maintain a smaller size or shaped into an informal hedge at 1 to 1.5 metres.
'Starry Night' produces masses of small white star-shaped flowers from late spring through early summer, typically October to December. The flowers are intensely produced across the whole plant and create a brilliant contrast against the burgundy foliage. Flowering attracts bees, hoverflies and other native pollinators.
'Starry Night' performs reliably across most Australian climates from subtropical Queensland through to cooler temperate Victoria and Tasmania. It grows particularly well in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, the NSW tablelands and coastal positions, and prefers full sun with well-drained sandy or loam soil. It tolerates a wide range of soils provided drainage is adequate.
Yes. Once established, 'Starry Night' is highly drought tolerant and copes with extended dry periods on minimal supplementary watering. It is also frost hardy and handles heavy and frequent frost without damage, making it suitable for inland tablelands as well as coastal positions. The dark foliage colour actually deepens in cooler weather.
Yes. 'Starry Night' responds well to pruning and is widely used as an informal hedge or screen at 1 to 1.5 metres spacing. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain density and shape. For a more compact formal look, prune two to three times through the warmer months. Avoid heavy pruning into old wood as Leptospermums generally do not regenerate well from bare stems.
Yes. The masses of small white flowers are nectar-rich and attract bees, hoverflies, butterflies and a wide range of native pollinating insects through spring and early summer. The dense evergreen canopy also provides shelter and foraging habitat for small native birds, making 'Starry Night' a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
Water deeply through the first growing season, then reduce watering and supplement only during extended dry periods. Apply a slow-release native fertiliser low in phosphorus in early spring. Light tip pruning after flowering maintains a dense compact shape and encourages dense branching. Avoid heavy pruning into old wood, as Leptospermums generally do not respond well to it.
Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Balls' is Star Jasmine grown and clipped into a dense evergreen sphere. The small glossy leaves sit tight on a woody framework, holding a clean rounded outline year round. White pinwheel flowers open in spring and carry a strong sweet scent right across a courtyard.
Ball specimens hold at about 1 to 1.5 metres tall and wide with light clipping. Full sun to part shade suits them, in any free draining soil. Growth is slow to moderate at 30 to 50 centimetres a year. They handle coastal exposure, light frost and dry spells once the roots are down.
Repeat them along a driveway, either side of an entry, or in pots on a terrace where a formal shape is wanted straight away. They read as structure in a planting scheme without the height of a hedge, and because the form is already trained, a new garden looks settled from the day it goes in.
About Star Jasmine Balls
They are Trachelospermum jasminoides, the common Star Jasmine, grown and clipped into a dense evergreen sphere on a woody framework. Instead of climbing, the plant is trained into a self supporting rounded shape. The foliage is small, glossy and dark green, and the plant carries scented white flowers through spring.
They hold at roughly 1 to 1.5 metres tall and 1 to 1.5 metres wide. Growth is slow to moderate at 30 to 50 centimetres a year, so a light clip once or twice a year keeps the ball tight at whatever size within that range suits the setting.
Full sun to part shade both work. Full sun gives the densest foliage and the heaviest flowering, while part shade produces slightly softer, more open growth and fewer flowers. Avoid deep shade, where the ball thins out and loses its outline. Morning sun with afternoon protection suits hot inland gardens.
Yes, and pots are one of the main uses. A container 50 to 60 centimetres wide with a quality free draining mix will hold a ball for years. Water more often than you would in the ground, especially in summer, and feed in spring and again in late summer. Refresh the mix every few years.
Yes, the foliage is held year round. The glossy dark green leaves take on a bronze tinge in cold weather and green up again in spring, but the plant never goes bare. That is what makes it useful as permanent structure in a scheme, particularly in winter once perennials have died back.
Flowering runs through spring, roughly September to November, and often carries into early summer in warmer districts. The white pinwheel flowers are small but produced in quantity, and the scent is strong on still evenings. Flowering is heaviest on plants in full sun that were not clipped hard just before bud set.
Clip lightly with hedging shears once after flowering and again in late summer if needed, taking only the new growth to keep the outline crisp. Water deeply in dry weather, mulch the base, and feed in early spring. The sap is milky and can irritate skin, so wear gloves when trimming.
Westringia fruticosa, Coastal Rosemary, is an Australian native evergreen shrub from the headlands and dunes of the east coast. It builds a dense rounded bush of fine grey green leaves held in whorls, with small white to pale lilac flowers. Despite the common name it is not the culinary herb.
Mature plants sit at 1.5 to 2 metres tall and 1.5 to 2 metres wide, growing 30 to 60 centimetres a year, and they clip smaller without complaint. Full sun to part shade and sharp drainage are the requirements. Salt wind, sandy soil, drought and light to moderate frost are all handled.
It is a standard on coastal projects, road verges, council garden beds and exposed banks that need erosion cover. Plant 1 to 1.5 metres apart for an informal screen, or 80 centimetres for a clipped hedge. A single plant fills a 40 to 50 centimetre pot on a courtyard or balcony.
About Coastal Rosemary
Westringia fruticosa is an Australian native evergreen shrub from the headlands and dunes of the east coast. It forms a dense rounded bush of fine grey green leaves held in whorls, with small white to pale lilac flowers. Despite the common name it is not culinary rosemary and is not used in cooking.
Mature plants reach 1.5 to 2 metres tall and 1.5 to 2 metres wide. It clips readily to smaller dimensions and is often maintained at around a metre as a hedge or a low mound. Growth is moderate, roughly 30 to 60 centimetres a year, so it holds a trimmed shape well.
It is one of the best shrubs available for exposed coastal work. It grows naturally on sea cliffs and copes with salt laden wind, sand and reflected heat. It is used constantly on beachfront reserves, dune stabilisation projects and seaside gardens where little else holds a tidy shape.
The main flush is spring and summer, roughly September through February, with scattered flowering at other times of the year in mild districts. The flowers are small, white to pale lilac and sit among the foliage rather than above it. Clipped hedges flower less than plants left to grow informally.
Space plants 80 centimetres apart for a tight formal hedge, or 1 to 1.5 metres apart for a dense informal screen. On banks and batters used for erosion cover, 1 metre in a staggered grid gives full ground coverage within about two growing seasons.
Yes. A pot 40 to 50 centimetres wide suits a single plant for a courtyard, entry or balcony. Use a free draining mix, because the roots will not tolerate sitting wet. Container plants need watering more often than those in the ground, plus a light trim to hold their shape.
Trim lightly two or three times a year, taking the soft new growth and avoiding cuts into bare old wood, which reshoots poorly. Water through the first summer, then only in extended dry spells. On most soils it needs no feeding at all, and it resents heavy watering and poor drainage.
Camellia sasanqua 'Pure Silk' is an elegant evergreen shrub grown for its pure white semi-double blooms, which stand out beautifully against glossy dark green foliage. Flowering from autumn into early winter, it brings serene seasonal colour to the garden in the cooler months.
Pure Silk grows to 2-3 metres tall and 1.5-2 metres wide with an upright, slightly spreading habit. The size and dense growth make it ideal for hedging, screening, containers, and feature planting, and it can also be espaliered against walls and fences. Sasanqua camellias tolerate more sun than other camellia types.
Pure Silk thrives in part shade to full sun and prefers well-drained, moist, slightly acidic soil. It is evergreen, holding glossy foliage year-round, and is low maintenance, needing only light pruning and mulching to keep it healthy and in shape.
About Camellia sasanqua 'Pure Silk'
Camellia sasanqua 'Pure Silk' grows to 2-3 metres tall and 1.5-2 metres wide, and can be maintained smaller with pruning.
'Pure Silk' has a moderate growth rate of 20-40cm per year once established.
'Pure Silk' produces masses of soft white flowers through autumn and into winter, providing colour when little else is flowering.
Yes. Camellia sasanqua 'Pure Silk' makes an excellent flowering hedge or screen and responds well to pruning. It can also be espaliered against walls and fences.
Yes. 'Pure Silk' is fully evergreen, holding glossy dark green foliage year-round.
Plant 60-80cm apart for a dense flowering hedge, or 1 metre for a more relaxed screen.
'Pure Silk' thrives across most Australian climates in part shade to full sun, preferring well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Sasanqua camellias tolerate more sun than other camellia types.
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.
Camellia sasanqua 'Plantation Pink' is an evergreen shrub with single, soft pink flowers and small glossy dark green leaves. Flowering begins in mid autumn and carries into winter, and the petals fall cleanly rather than browning on the bush. Growth is upright and dense, which is why it takes so well to hedging.
It handles more sun than a japonica camellia, from full sun through to part shade, in a well drained slightly acidic soil with organic matter worked in. Temperate and cool temperate gardens suit it, and light to moderate frost is fine. Growth is 20 to 40 centimetres a year. Water through dry spells while buds are forming.
Use it as a flowering hedge, a screen along a boundary, an espalier against a wall, or a single shrub in a shaded courtyard. It also takes well to a large pot. The autumn to winter flowering fills a gap in the year when most of the garden has already finished.
About Plantation Pink Camellia
'Plantation Pink' is a well known sasanqua camellia, an evergreen shrub with single, soft pink flowers and small glossy dark green leaves. It is vigorous, dense and upright, and it clips well, which is why it is one of the most widely planted camellias for hedging and screening in Australian gardens.
Left to grow it reaches about 3 to 4 metres tall and 2 to 3 metres wide. As a clipped hedge it is usually held between 1.5 and 2.5 metres, and it espaliers neatly against a wall. Growth is 20 to 40 centimetres a year, so a hedge takes a few seasons to close up fully.
Flowering starts in mid autumn and carries through into winter, roughly April to July, which is earlier than the japonica camellias. The single pink flowers open in succession over many weeks and drop cleanly rather than browning on the bush, so the plant stays tidy for the whole of the display.
For a dense informal screen plant 1 to 1.5 metres apart. For a tighter formal hedge, 80 centimetres apart closes the line sooner and gives a flatter face. As a single courtyard specimen or in a pot, allow a container 40 to 50 centimetres wide and keep it clear of competing roots.
Yes. Sasanqua camellias take considerably more sun than japonicas, and full sun gives the heaviest flowering and the densest growth. In hot inland gardens some protection from harsh afternoon light keeps the foliage from bronzing. It also performs well in part shade, simply with slightly fewer flowers over the season.
Yes. Use a pot at least 50 centimetres wide with a free draining, slightly acidic mix formulated for camellias and azaleas. Water regularly, since containers dry quickly and dry roots in autumn will cost you flower buds. Feed after flowering and again in late summer, and refresh the top of the mix each year.
Prune straight after flowering finishes, before the new growth that carries next season's buds gets away. Hedges take shearing well and can be cut hard if they become woody. Feed with a camellia and azalea fertiliser after flowering, mulch with a leafy compost, and keep water up through summer and autumn while buds set.
Laurus nobilis 'Miles Choice' is considered an improved form of the traditional bay tree, selected for its more compact, upright growth. This variety is known for producing denser, tidier hedging with less effort, which is why it has become one of our best-selling choices for structured residential and commercial landscapes.
Its dark green, glossy, aromatic foliage creates a strong, uniform backdrop that instantly elevates surrounding plantings and holds its shape beautifully year-round. It is ideal for clipped formal hedges, privacy screening, and pleached rows, responding exceptionally well to pruning and maintaining a clean, polished finish with regular trimming.
'Miles Choice' performs reliably in full sun to part shade and tolerates a wide range of conditions, including coastal and windy sites once established. The foliage is also edible, making it both a practical and ornamental option.
Low-maintenance, resilient, and highly refined, it is a go-to hedging tree for projects where structure, longevity, and a premium finish matter.
About Laurus nobilis 'Miles Choice' Bay Tree
Miles Choice grows to 4-6 metres tall and is most commonly maintained as a 2-4 metre clipped hedge. Its compact upright form holds a tighter shape than standard Laurus nobilis.
Miles Choice has a moderate growth rate of 30-50cm per year once established.
Miles Choice is an improved cultivar of Laurus nobilis with a tighter, more compact habit. The foliage is still fully edible and aromatic, but the plant produces denser, tidier hedges with less pruning than the standard form.
Yes. Like the standard bay tree, Miles Choice leaves are fully edible and can be used in cooking. Pick fresh leaves as needed for stocks, soups, slow-cooked dishes, and marinades.
Plant 60-80cm apart for a dense formal hedge, or 1 metre apart for a more relaxed screen.
Yes. Miles Choice performs well in large pots (60L+) and is a popular choice for formal entrances, courtyards, and balcony screening.
Trim two to three times through the warmer months, taking a little each time rather than one hard cut. Use sharp secateurs on individual stems so the large leaves are not sliced in half and left browning on the face of the hedge. Miles Choice reshoots readily from older wood, so an overgrown plant can be brought back into shape over a season or two.

Camellia sasanqua 'Paradise Blush' carries delicate white flowers edged with soft pink through autumn and winter, filling the gap when most gardens have nothing in bloom. Glossy dark evergreen foliage holds the plant together for the rest of the year.
'Paradise Blush' grows to 2 to 4 metres tall and only 1.5 to 2.5 metres wide at 30 to 50 centimetres per year, with a naturally dense upright habit. Unlike most camellias it takes full sun, which makes it one of the few flowering evergreens that will hedge an exposed boundary.
'Paradise Blush' tolerates light to moderate frost once established and wants free-draining, slightly acidic soil with consistent moisture. It clips well, holds density under trimming, and performs reliably in large pots as well as in the ground.
About Camellia sasanqua 'Paradise Blush'
'Paradise Blush' grows to 2 to 4 metres tall and 1.5 to 2.5 metres wide. Its narrow habit makes it well suited to hedging in beds where width is limited.
Flowering runs through autumn and winter, with white blooms edged in soft pink. Sasanqua camellias flower earlier than japonica types, which flower in late winter and spring.
Yes. Sasanqua camellias tolerate full sun far better than japonica types, which is why 'Paradise Blush' works as a hedge on exposed boundaries and western walls.
Plant 80 centimetres to 1 metre apart for a dense formal hedge, or 1.5 metres apart for a looser informal screen.
Prune straight after flowering finishes in late winter. This gives the plant a full growing season to set the buds for the following autumn's display.
Free-draining, slightly acidic soil with consistent moisture. Mulch with composted pine bark and feed with a fertiliser formulated for acid-loving plants after flowering.
It handles light to moderate frost once established. Protect young plants through their first winter in colder inland districts.
