Lasiopetalum behrii - Pink Velvet Bush, (although NOT to be confused with Lasiopetalum baueri - Slender Velvet Bush) is happy in... well-drained clay, alkaline soils, coastal sites, frosty areas, local Melbourne or semi-arid areas. Useful as a low-windbreak, for floral display, full to filtered sun.
A small to medium shrub with lovely, velvety foliage and gorgeous flowers in winter through to mid-spring. Is there nothing it can't do? Probably, but can't think of anything now and anyway, we'd be nitpicking.

Anything with orange-yellow and red-brown pea flowers tends to be referred to as Eggs and Bacon and that's not really a problem. One of our favourite 'Eggs and Bacon' plants is Pultenaea gunnii.* It's a medium shrub with tiny, glossy leaves and ... well you can see the flowers.

It only occurs in Victoria and Tasmania and if you look up the hefty and wonderful book, Flora of Melbourne by Marilyn Bull - and yes Kuranga sells it - you'll see that it's a local plant. In fact, if you are driving up the Mt Dandenong Tourist Road, between Montrose and Kallista in late winter/early spring, you'll see it flowering hysterically en masse, on the high side of the road.

An easy one to grow in full to filtered sun and it's happy under established trees. *If you look it up, its common name is actually Golden Bush-pea, but we're not going to argue the point and continuing on with the food theme, when it comes to common names, they really are a moveable feast.
A great plant whatever it's common name is.

This is the loveliest little Wattle and has super soft and if you look closely, the cutest foliage, along with a weeping habit and large, super fluffy and well-displayed, bright yellow flowers.
It grows as a small, spreading shrub that grows happily in sandy, gravelly or well-drained clay soil, in full to filtered sun. It's from Western Australia, where it has a Threatened list, but has proven adaptable in the eastern states.
Acacia guinetii. Cute as.

A ground-hugging, gaps-between-pavers filling, yoga butterfly balancing, layering plant with white, light or dark blue flowers. Sun or shade. Loves moisture but happy with drier conditions once it establishes. It's Pratia (Lobelia) pedunculata.
OPTION: Grow some in a shallow tray, then once it's spread, cut it like a lemon slice and pop the pieces between pavers or rocks. Available in pots and in a tube if you're quick.

Did you know that there are more than 150 boronia species and that's not counting the many hybrids and cultivars? Did you also know that many of the boronias that are in cultivation are quite easy to grow?
One of our favourites is the beautiful Boronia pinnata. A medium shrub, it has pinnate, aromatic foliage, decorative buds and large flowers that are pure heaven and it will grow happily under established trees. Oh, it's a great cut flower.
