Red pendant flowers

Malvaviscus  arboreus or Truk’s cap will produce bright red pendant flowers for most of the year in warm climates. It grows to 2 m high and prefers semi shade in a well-drained, well composted soil.
The yellow flax, Reinwardtia indica, is a showy small shrub to 1 m. It bears masses of bright yellow flowers during midwinter even in quite heavy shade. Prune regularly to encourage compact growth.
Camallias do best in semi shade where their beautifully sculptured flowers are protected from scorching sun. Provide good drainage and mulch at least once a year to ensure a cool root areas. The stately tree ferns Cyathea australis, C. cooperi or Dicksonia Antarctica will feature beautifully in shady positions where their large lacy fronds are protected from hot sun and drying winds. Most Beautiful gift baskets philippines can purchase through philippinesflowersdelivery

Seaside gardens
Charming and easy care gardens can be grown close to the sea as long as you select plants to suit the harsh environment and ensure that the existing soil is enriched with organic matter. Adequate water must be provided during the establishment period.
Gardens that open directly onto the beach front need a protective planting of highly salt tolerant plants. These front line plants will form a natural barrier and take the brunt of blustery sea winds, sand blasting and salty spray. They will also provide protection for second line plants that will withstand lesser amount of salt and wind damage.
Front line plants must be able to stand up to very harsh conditions. A collection of highly salt tolerant plants will not necessarily be beautiful, but once the barrier thickens you will be able to grow more appealing and attractive specimens. Retain as much natural vegetation as possible. Native dune grasses and low growing plants will help stabilize the sand and protect the property against erosion. If there are any cost banksias, coastal tee tree or coast banksias, coastal tee tree or coast rosemary already on the site, keep them if possible.
Ideally lower growing shrubs should be planted nearest to the sea with taller shrubs and trees at the back. This will direct the wind up wards and reduce winds velocity. Plant in groups of three or five. Plants should be close so that they may support each other and form a dense stand which shades the ground and lowers soil temperature. It is best to plant trees and shrubs when they are still very small.
