Our clients had been having trouble getting much to grow in the very sunny borders of their front garden. With family connections to Australia, we used Australasian and South African-themed flora as the theme for the planting. Key plants in the scheme included Grevillea, Watsonia, Leonotis and Anigozanthos - Kangaroo Paw in common parlance. Several seasons in, the plants are thriving in their sunny position, planted in aggregate topped with a pea shingle gravel mulch.
