Dicksonia antarctica

Dicksonia are among the oldest plants on the planet, existing even before dinosaurs and long before flowering plants evolved. The magnificent tree fern specimens found in natural forests of Australia and New Zealand can be several centuries old.

Fatsia japonica

This charming, tropical evergreen shrub is truly a popular choice. It features large, glossy, deep green palmate leaves and, in autumn, showcases impressive panicles of spherical, creamy white flowers, often followed by round, black fruit. It's perfect for an exotic-style garden, where the sizeable leaves pair beautifully with bamboos and grasses, or as a striking focal point in a shady corner.

Nandina 'Lemon and Lime'

Each spring, the new foliage of this attractive little shrub emerges a yellowy green hue, gradually deepening to a richer lime over time. When planted in sunnier locations, the leaves of Magical and Lime will remain quite bright, whereas those in shaded spots or towards the centre of plant will turn a deep dark green.

Cordyline australis 'Red Star'

This notable, palm-like tree boasts arching, sword-like leaves in a striking deep red that last all year. Mature specimens produce beautiful white flower spikes that give off a delightful fragrance. Cordyline australis 'Red Star' makes ideal focal point for sunny, sheltered borders, patios, or exotic gardens.

Astelia 'Silver Shadow'

Astelia 'Silver Shadow' is a striking architectural plant that enhances the drama and structure of a border. Its pointed, spear-shaped leaves seem to be dusted with silver. In mid to late spring. Silver spear looks particularly attractive alongside grasses, purple-leaved plants, or other varieties with silver foliage.
