Muscadine Grape - Adonis

$27.00 ($17.75-$79.00 choose a size)

Large ripe fruits (20-25mm) are golden bronze in colour, sweet and juicy with a delicious and distinctive fruity flavour. Highly disease resistant and should not require spraying making them ideal for coastal climates and the subtropics. This variety is owned by FAVGRO. The purchaser agrees that propagation of the vines for sale, without authorisation from the breeder is prohibited. They are vigorous vines and should not be planted where they can escape into native bushland, as they would quickly smother trees and shrubs around them.

Native Pink Hibiscus

$18.75 ($4.90-$18.75 choose a size)

The flowers on this native Hibiscus are deep pink with a darker throat. They are borne on a small shrub to one metre. Both flowers and leaves are edible. Hibiscus flowers generally last only a day but continue to produce flowers over the summer and autumn. Tip pruning will promote bushy growth. Native Pink Hibiscus is widespread in tropical areas of Western Australia, Northern Territory and Queensland, but adaptable to cooler areas, and can tolerate light frost
