A hardy, upright shrub growing to approx. 1 metre tall & 75cm across. It has large leathery leaves that stand out from the stems and is covered with upright bunches of purple pea-shaped flowers in spring.
Hardenbergia violacea 'Flat White'
Flowers:
White, from late July to mid-September
Compact groundcover to 20cm high & up to 4m in diameter
Foliage colour:
Dark green, ca. 40-45mm (w) x 60-65mm (long)
Reasons for distinctiveness:
Hardenbergia violacea ‘Flat White’ is a white
flowered dense foliage true groundcover form whereas most other white
selections are either bushy or climbers.
Hardenbergia violacea 'Aspiration'
It is a scrambling creeper attaining a spread of about 5m
across and with support will climb to a height of about 2m. The leaves are
dark green, about 55mm wide at the base, and taper to a rounded point.
Veining on the upper surface is very distinct. The pink pea-shaped flowers
are produced in compact and numerous racemes arising from the leaf axils
and held vertically above the foliage. Individual flowers are about 10mm
long and about 10mm wide.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from other known forms of the species
in its very compact and numerous racemes with musk pink flowers. These
racemes are held vertically. The species usually has violet flowers. This
cultivar will most commonly be known as H. violacea 'Austraflora
Aspiration'.
Hardenbergia violacea 'Happy Wanderer'
Leaves are lanceolate in shape and plus/minus 8cm long when
mature. They are a glossy green in colour. Leaves tend to be sparser with
longer than normal internodal distances. The flowers are 10mm wide and are
a rich violet-mauve in colour. They are borne profusely in racemes 9cm long
that arise from the leaf axils. Flowers are said to be found from June to
early spring.
Kennedia nigricans 'Minstrel'
The flower colour is the only notable difference of this
cultivar. All other features are the same as Kennedia nigricans.
Diagnosis:
The flowers are black with a pale, almost white patch on the
standard instead of a yellow patch.
Lechenaultia biloba 'White Flash'
A natural colour variant of Lechenaultia biloba which differs
from other forms in that it has a clear and sharp break between the white
central portion of the flower and the deep blue outer area of the petals.
The plant in the wild is an open wiry specimen but with judicious pruning
could be shaped into an attractive garden bush doing best in a light gravel
or sandy soil. Cultivar received by the Authority on 10 December 1974 from
the ANBG.
Callistemon viminalis 'Prolific'
A small tree to 6m high by 4m across with pendulous branch
tips. The leaves are narrowly elliptical to 50mm long by 7mm wide. The
bright red flowers are borne in spikes clustered near the branch ends. Each
spike is about 80mm long by 40mm across. They are seen in late spring and
summer and again in autumn in the eastern states and from June to October
in Western Australia.
Diagnosis:
The only significant differences between this and other forms of
C. viminalis are its prolific flowering habit and the flowering spikes
borne in clusters at the branch ends. The branch ends are not as pendulous
as some forms. It is not readily identifiable.
Grevillea 'Orange Marmalade'

or entire, silky hairy underneath with rusty hairs along the veins; flowers
green and orange, appressed rusty hairs on perianth; styles reddish-black,

has a spreading habit. Leaves are dark glossy green on the upper surface
whilst the underside is covered with silky white hairs. Each leaf is up to
4cm long and about 4mm wide and is pungent. Leaf edges are rolled under.
Flowers are buff to apricot and produced in terminal clusters on short
branchlets. Each flower is about 1.5 - 2cm long, styles are red and up to
