Red Cedar

$17.90 ($4.90-$18.75 choose a size)

Fast growing deciduous rainforest tree highly valued for its timber in earlier days. Has now become rare. Easily grown on moist soils of eastern Australia.

Smother Grass

$5.75

A shade tolerant grass providing thick cover of a soft, textured, broad-leaved lawn. Drought tolerant, resistant to weed invasion and only requires approximately 2 hours of sun per day. Useful in shady orchard inter-rows where a ground cover is desirable to resist erosion. Sub-tropical and perennial where it prefers good drainage. Best not mown too close to the ground. The variety is more suited for domestic lawns, parks and garden areas and should be used with caution near native bushland where it may out-compete delicate, native shade-tolerant herbs and grasses in the understorey.

Lomandra hystrix - Mat Rush

$2.75 ($2.75-$17.75 choose a size)

This hardy Bushfood plant has arching strap-like leaves and yellow-green flower spikes in spring. Suited to wet soils and is ideal for use around water features. It prefers part shade though will tolerate full sun. It can also be used indoors and will accept a wide range of soils and climates. Useful for drainage swales and erosion control. Like its cousin Lomandra longifolia the base of the leaves make a tasty snack. Pull the leaves out from the base of the clump and chew the white fleshy base of them, they taste a little like sweet peas. The lusher the growing conditions, the better the taste. Flowers are high in nectar and can be soaked in water for a flavoured, refreshing drink. Mature seed can be ground into a flour to make a damper. The strap-like leaves make great weaving material too.
