New Gold Trailing Lantana

Another reliable bloomer on and off throughout the year. It provides wonderful golden flowers, and benefits from deep, infrequent watering and some pruning.

Golden Wattle, Sydney Golden Wattle

Common name:Golden Wattle, Sydney Golden Wattle
Botanical name:Acacia longifolia

Fast growing evergreen shrub/small tree grows 20' tall and equally wide. Flower heads are narrow, tubular, bright yellow and scented, appearing in winter and spring. It is used for its fast growth and screening use rather than for its bloom. However, it does need ample room to grow. It is not long-lived perhaps 20 years.

Homestead Purple Verbena

Common name:Homestead Purple Verbena
Botanical name:Verbena 'Homestead Purple'

This perennial will reach about 3' tall and has small green leaves with purple flowers that bloom during warm weather. It is frost tender but will come back when the ground warms up. Feed with an all-purpose fertilizer once a month during the growing season. This shrub works as a great groundcover. Pinch ends to promote dense growth.
