      <description><![CDATA[Westringia fruticosa, Coastal Rosemary/Native Rosemary, Lamiaceae family, all originating from Australia. W. fruticosa is a medium evergreen shrub about 1.8m  x 2m (w) and originates from eastern coastal Australia. It has a very dense habit. Small white flowers almost all year, fast-growing, well-drained soil, very adaptable to a different range of soils, full sun, low water needs, min. 450mm rain, drought-tolerant, tolerates some shade (but will grow slower). Very good for coastal sites, withstands wind and salt, responds well to pruning, adds texture and fine foliage, very long flowering period. Propagation by cuttings or seeds. Good for gardens, parks, landscaping, hedging, topiary, windbreaks, low screens.  (Other variety W. 'Wynyabbie Gem' more rounded dome-shaped and open habit with mauve-blue flowers)]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Euphorbia characias subsp.wulfenii, is a memeber of the family Euphorbiaceae family. This subspecies originates from the Mediterranean region and South-Europe. It is a perennial evergreen soft stemmed shrub, 1.8m x 1.5m (w) with narrow elliptical gray green leaves. The 'flowers' are yellow-green whorled bracts in winter - spring. Low water needs, withstands periods of drought. Very adaptable to wide range of well drained soils. Tolerates frost but not consistent cold and dampness. Sun or light shade. Dead head after flowering, tends to self-seed in SA climate but easily pulled out if unwanted. Fantastic colour in winter. Looks great with Lomandra longifolia and Cupressus sempervirens 'Glauca' and Agaves. Attractive foliage, spectacular 'flowers', adds texture to beds and borders. Sap is poisonous.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Osteospermum fruticosum a memebr of the family Asteraceae [sunflowers] commonly known as trailing African Daisy or Shrubby Daisybush is a spreading ground cover (covering a square meter or more) to mini shrub if clipped. Tolerant of a wide variety of soil types and hardy. Survives of 350 mm annual rainfall. There are a huge range of cultivars with names like 'Passion Mix and Sunkist'. Flowers range from <br />
The plants seem to prefer a warm and sunny position and rich soil, although they tolerate poor soil, salt or drought well. Modern cultivars flower continuously when watered and fertilised well, and dead-heading is not necessary, because they do not set seed easily. If planted in a container, soil should be prevented from drying out completely. If they do, the plants will go into "sleep mode" and survive the period of drought, but they will abort their flower buds and not easily come back into flower. Moreover, roots are relatively susceptible to rotting if watered too profusely after the dry period. (from Wikipedia).]]></description>
