SEED CLEANING EVENING A BIG SUCCESS

First Seed Cleaning evening a big success.

The first of our seed cleaning nights on Monday 23rd January was a big success with 12 volunteers attending on a very warm evening. There was lots of cleaning, chatting and eating over the 3 hours that people were at Candlebark Nursery. A big thank you for all the help given to us. Our next evening is Tuesday February 21st. If you can join us to help with processing our collection of seed from 6pm through to about 8.30 – 9.00pm, please send us an email or leave a message on our phone.

Looking for a plant that looks spectacular and can cover a boring fenceline? Cassinia longifolia is one answer.

Cassinia longifolia – A great shrub for screening and looks spectacular when in flower.

Cassinia longifolia grows from 2 – 4 metres tall and 2 – 3 metres wide. It is fast growing, great for creating a screen, and copes with a bit of sun but will also grow well in the shade. It is a butterfly nectar provider and the flowers can be cut and dried. This shrub likes a good prune after flowering to maintain shape and prevent woodiness.

We have plenty of tubestock of this beautiful plant available at the nursery. Come in and check out what we have.
