New Autumn Plants

Agapanthus Golden Drop

A new release agapanthus selected right here in NZ for its attractive cream and green variegated foliage. Unlike the older variegated variety Tinkerbell, which has similar foliage, Golden Drop has a very long flowering period for an agapanthus, with flowers appearing from early summer. An environmentally friendly, sterile agapanthus selection which is a great hardy addition to the perennial border or along pathways. Available in the North Island from Annton Nursery and Container Nurseries, and in the South Island at Elliotts, Trents and Evandale Gardens.

Hydrangea Levana

Is a stunning new plant direct from Europe and the same breeder as the hugely popular Hydrangea Limelight. A sun tolerant Hydrangea paniculata type which features huge pure white blooms from mid summer, which remain on the plant for a long time. The cooler weather of Autumn brings a pretty pink tone through autumn as the blooms age. Very hardy and quick growing, each plant will bear dozens of blooms and is a very elegant large border shrub. Available in the North Island from Annton Nursery and Container Nurseries, and in the South Island from Evandale Gardens. Released February.

Salvia Amistad
