Lemon myrtle is one of the most valuable, versatile and loved bush tucker plants in Australia. A native to South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales dry rainforest edges, the lemon myrtle will grow happily and easily in full sun or part shade. During summer, this large shrub or small tree is adorned with fluffy, cream-coloured flowers that emit an irresistibly delicious, lemony fragrance. Growing to around 6m in full sun and 15m in the rainforest, this attractive tree can be easily grown in a large pot. Protect it from frosts.

These Eremophilas are beautiful native groundcovers that will add some interest to your garden. Producing colourful bird-attracting flowers during spring and summer, they are sure to brighten up any dull spot. They require little maintenance once they are established, and tolerate most soil types as long as it is well-drained. Pop them in full sun, either in the landscape or in a container. They would look amazing softly spilling over a pot.
