Calliandra 'Blushing Pixie" I have just bought a Calliandra 'Blushing Pixie' but have been unable to find any information about it. Does anyone know how big it is likely to grow? Are they suitable for pot culture?
Ceanothus x Blue Pacific - propagating We would like to have more Blue Pacific in our garden so have tried to get cuttings to strike. No luck no matter what we do, are we wasting our time trying. Should we just buy a new plant.
Dais cotinifolia Hey Jenny, Buds that do not open could be a symptom of many problems - so its best to take a cutting to your local nursery to discuss the conditions you are growing in. Some gardeners say that adding a 'Bloom Booster' fertiliser that has increased levels of phosphorous in it can help, but we disagree as the extra chemicals generally just go to waste or put your soil into imbalance. A 'tonic' like Seasol or other seaweed based products will always be best as they are rather benign, but boost bug and microbe populations in the soil which then in turn help release the natural elements for plants to take up.

Looks like a fungal infection Toni - cut off any parts you can and dispose of in council green waste - then spray the rest with Mancozeb - including the soil closeby.
Lilly pilly after this rain Hey guys, Just planted these. And we have just had a lot of rain on the east coast. They are now losing all their leaves. See pics. Are they dead?

Smooth vs Mophead Hydrangea Hello gardeners! We are keen to plant hydrangeas in our front yard and I like both the smooth hydrangea and the mophead hydrangea. We live in Melbourne, Australia. We have two garden beds. One is under a very large gumtree and gets morning sun and afternoon shade. The other garden bed gets only dappled sun. Which species of hydrangea (mophead or smooth) would be suited to the garden bed under the gumtree (given that the tree will suck nutrient and moisture from the ground)? Which species of hydrangea (mophead or smooth) would be better suited to the garden bed with only dappled sun (mostly shade)? Thank you in advance!
