By Sophie Thomson| Gardening Australia@ For stylish, hardy plants that are easy to grow, Sophie says Mediterranean plants often come to mind. These don’t all come from the countries that edge the Mediterranean Sea - some originate from countries around the world with a similar, temperate climate – mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers. Some examples in Sophie’s garden are:Its leaves look a bit like culinary sage but it’s not edible. It produces whorls of hooded yellow flowers that can last for several months, from spring to autumn.
By Sophie Thomson| Gardening Australia@ Carnivorous plants are fascinating and seem to come from another world. They can eat insects, reptiles, and even small animals and are found in very different environments around the world, from rocky dry outcrops to forests and waterways. The common factor in each of these habitats is lack of essential nutrients, so carnivorous plants have evolved to bolster their diets by trapping and eating creatures that venture too close.
By Sophie Thomson| Gardening Australia@ We often label plants as either ‘ornamental’ or ‘edible’ but, especially in smaller gardens with fewer options for the best microclimate, it pays to blur the lines and grow more collaboratively. That way you maximise space, beauty and pollinators. If you only have one full-sun corner, you might be tempted to choose between colourful flowers, fruit, native plants, or vegetables. But by choosing plants that have similar growing conditions, you can combine them.
