Who could resist touching the fluffy red cylindrical flower heads that drip from the branches of this evergreen shrub during late spring and summer? Not many. But this native of Australia has more going for it than just its 'stroke me' qualities. The tiny leaves that cover its arching branches release a delicious lemony scent when brushed, and its arching branches provide all year round interest. Wherever you plant it its perfect as specimen in the lawn, grown against a wall or fence, or planted in large pots. A real sun lover, give it the brightest spot possible. You need to water a bottlebrush for its first season, but when established plants are extremely drought tolerant. Protect it in harder winters by covering with fleece or grow in pots so it can be moved indoors (a shed, front porch, garage or conservatory would be ideal).
Elephant Garlic is really a stem leek rather than a true garlic but producing massive bulbs approximately 10cm (4) in diameter. The large cloves have a milder taste than conventional garlic, making it suitable for a wide choice of culinary uses. Try roasting elephant garlic and spreading on to crusty bread, or add the cloves to mashed potato.

Cut some of the flowers for an indoor display too, there are masses of them so you won't notice that they've gone! Height: 75cm (30). Spread: 100cm (39).
