Problems - May rarely survive outside the mildest areas in the UK. Tolerates a minimum winter temperature of 23 degrees Fahrenheit (-5 degrees Centigrade) but some terminal stem damage may be caused in severe wind chill conditions. |
Acacia armata (Kangaroo thorn). Profuse yellow flowers over the entire branches in Feb-May. Small prickles and small dissected leaves. Large bushy habit, reaching tree proportions in very favourable areas. Noxious weed in California, USA. Acacia baileyana (Cootamundra wattle). Glaucous, cut leaved foliage and bright yellow racemes of flowers in Dec-Apr. Two thirds average height and spread. Requires glasshouse conditions in UK. Acacia dealbata (Silver wattle, mimosa). Fern-like, silver-green foliage, masses of yellow flowers in Jan-Apr. One of the hardest forms. Requires glasshouse conditions in UK. |
Bougainvillea spectabilis is Great bougainvillea |
Tubular white flowers surrounded by large magenta bracts, up to 1.5 inches (4 cm) wide and long, carried in panicles 9-12 inches (23-30 cm) long. Must be in a fully protected aspect. Best in full sun bt will tolerate light shade. |
The plant shows a versatility to climates which allows it to flower continually throughout the year. At Westdale Nurseries, we have been steadily collecting varieties of bougainvillea from all over the world for a number of years and we now have over 200 varieties. |
After 10 years - 144 x 144 (370 x 370) |
Climbers and Wall Shrubs needing or responding Cl D If grown in large containers a good quality potting compost should be used. If grown in soil, the latter should be lightened with the addition of 25 per cent sand and 25 per cent sedge peat. |
Use - Although in all but the mildest of areas in the Uk, bougainvillea is included in this gallery, for its use as a deciduous climber for conservatories and large greenhouse planted in large containers, or in greenhouse borders. Foliage - Pointed, oval, grey/green to dull green, 1.5 inches (4 cm) long by 0.75 inches (2 cm) wide. Normally leathery in texture. The plant can support itself on other plants by means of thorns carried in the leaf axils. Bougainvillea likes a climate from subtropical to tropical, but prefers a tropical climate, growing in dense forests where it can cling and grab onto other plants to reach the sunlight. Stem - Angular, branching, grey/green, stiff, vigorous. Medium to fast growth rate. |
Pruning - Prune all previous season's shoots, other than those needed to form a structure, back to 1 inch 92.5 cm) from the base annually in early spring. Training - Tie to wires or individual anchor points. Heght/spread Problems - Foliage may be attacked by insects such as red spider or whitefly. Roots often attacked by mealy bug. Proprietary controls should be used. Keep ventilation as open as possible, particularly in winter, but do not allow temperature to drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Centigrade), since that is its mimimum winter temperature. |
Bougainvillea spectabilis 'Lady Wilson'. Cerise flowers. Bougainvillea spectabilis lateritia. Brick-red bracts. Bougainvillea spectabilis lindleyana 'Mrs Loise Wathen' (syn. Bougainvillea spectabilis lindleyana 'Orange King'). Cinnamon-coloured bracts. Bougainvillea spectabilis 'Mrs Butt'. Bright rose bracts. All varieties are difficult to obtain outside very temperate areas.

Camellia japonica The American Camellia Society is a national membership
International Camellia Society |
Semi-double, blood-red flowers. A sheltered sunless aspect. It prefers light to mid shade, dislikes full sun. Galleries of images of Camellias by Jim |
Feb-Apr Camellias are one of the three large tribes of trees and shrubs that dominate many Cornish gardens, the others being Rhododendrons and Magnolias. Both the soil and the climate suit them well so that they thrive in most situations. The association with Cornwall is such that four of the five Plant Heritage national collections are in Cornwall. The williamsii hybrids are so named after J.C. Williams, the Cornish landowner who first raised the cross. As well as the national collections at Mt Edgcumbe, Anthony House, Heligan and Tregothnan, extensive collections can be seen at Tregrehan, Trewithen, Trewidden and Caerhays, to name just four. |

Use - As a fan-trained evergreen shrub for shady, protected walls and fences. Can be used to a good effect in a large conservatory as a wall specimen. Flowers of Camellia japonica - Large, cup-shaped flowers in a wide range of colours, may be single, semi-double, anemone or peony-shaped, loose double or tight double, depending on variety. Sizes range from small to very large. Foliage of Camellia japonica - Dark, glossy-green upper surfaces, with grey/green undersides. Ovate to oblong, 3-4 inches |(7.5-10 cm) long and 1.5 inches (4 cm) wide. Stem of Camellia japonica - Bright to dark green. Upright. Forming a stiff, solid shrub that can be fan-trained. A few varieties are more laxly presented. Slow to medium rate of growth.
Camellias - Ht 1-2m in 10-15 years, ultimately 3-4m or more. The Glendoick Camellia selection are the best from the 100s we have tested. Most Camellias are not suitable for Scotland. The best are C. x williamsii and related. Plant in almost full sun but shelter from the worst winds and easterly exposure. Camellias flower in March-April-May outdoors in Scotland. They enjoy a well-drained, moderately acid soil fairly rich in organic matter. You may be advised to protect them when first planted from late Spring frosts. |
Pruning of Camellia japonica - None required. May be cut back to keep within bounds. Young plants may be improved by removing one third of previous season's growth, after flowering, for first 2-3 years. Training of Camellia japonica - Requires wires or individual anchor points to secure and encourage the fan-training shape. Height/spread of Camellia japonica Problems of Camellia japonica - Often planted on alkaline (chalky) soils, where it fails, or in full sun, which it dislikes. Flowers can be damaged by frost in exposed areas. Tolerates a minimum winter temperature of 14 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 degrees Centigrade), but may shed leaves in harsh conditions, occasionally causing plant to fail.

Acacia dealbata is Mimosa, Silver Wattle
In South Africa, the species is a Category 1 weed in the Western Cape (requiring eradication) and Category 2 weed (requiring control outside plantation areas) elsewhere. In New Zealand the Department of Conservation class it as an environmental weed. |
The flowers are produced in large racemose inflorescences made up of numerous smaller globose bright yellow flowerheads of 13–42 individual flowers. The flowers and tip shoots are harvested for use as cut flowers, when it is known by florist trade as "mimosa". |
Jan-Apr In spring the scented, nectar-rich blooms provide a valuable source of food for bees and other insects. |

Problems - May rarely survive outside the mildest areas in the UK. Tolerant of low temperatures, but not surviving being frozen. Except in frost-free inner-city areas or coastal extremities requires glasshouse conditions. Plant can withstand temperatures down to 1°C (34°F). |
Acacia dealbata (Silver wattle, mimosa). Fern-like, silver-green foliage, masses of yellow flowers in Jan-Apr. One of the hardest forms. Requires glasshouse conditions in UK. |
Chimonanthus praecox is Fragrant Bittersweet, Wintersweet |
Lemon yellow, sweetly-scented waxy, hanging, bell-shaped flowers with purple anthers, frost-hardy, borne in late winter on mature branches 3 or 4 years old. Try to plant it close to a house entrance or path where its scent can be appreciated. Highly prized by floral arrangers, a stem of these unusual, bowl-shaped blooms makes a wonderfully fragrant indoor display. All but the most severe aspects. Full sun ripens the wood best for flowering. Tolerates light shade. |
After 10 years - 96 x 96 (240 x 240) |
Leaves light green to yellow green, some yellow autumn colour. |
