The striking Hakea Laurina

Posted by PLGCadmin on 21/12/2022

The stunning Hakea Laurina / Pincushion Hakea – returns to share her beauty further. Native to south-western Australia, this evergreen large shrub to small tree with long curved blue-green foliage, is much admired for its stunning pink-red and cream pincushion-style flowers.

Bright, sturdy globular flower-heads can be up to 5 cm across making a striking addition to cut-flower arrangements. Attractive to nectar-eating birds, butterflies and other insects.

A shrub that’s easy to grow in most well-drained soil types, it can be grown in part shade but best full sun. Budding genrally starts late summer, with flowers opening from late autumn through winter.

A worthy addition to gardens of all styles and look forward to enhancing yours

Not ‘just’ a Fence… Create a Garden Feature…

Posted by PLGCadmin on 17/09/2014

There’s more to a fence than marking out boundaries. A fence can provide privacy, wind protection, segment yard area and a whole lot more… Walls and fences can become vertical gardens, adding interest and colour, especially in compact spaces.

You can find out more about vertical gardens by following the link below… And call in to Pelicans Landing Garden Centre at Nambucca Heads to check out our wide range of wall features and ornaments to add finishing touches – or even to design in before construction…

And you can catch up on what’s been happening this Spring at Pelicans Landing too…
