SNOW-IN-SUMMER
There’s something special about an Australian native covered in soft, white blossoms. 🌿
Meet Melaleuca linariifolia, commonly known as Snow-in-Summer — a striking native tree that brings a fresh, snowy burst of colour to the garden through the warmer months.
🌱 Why we love it: • Masses of delicate, feathery white flowers from late spring into summer�• Loved by bees, birds, and beneficial pollinators�• Tough and adaptable once established in full sun to part shade�• Makes a beautiful feature tree, screen, or wildlife shelter
Growing around 6–10 metres tall, it’s a wonderful choice if you have space for a small tree or large ornamental screen.

Austromyrtus Dulcis - Midyim berry

Looking to add an easy-care, edible native to your patch? fresh batches of Midyim Berry (Austromyrtus dulcis) are in stock and ready to for thier new home.

Widely regarded as one of Australia’s tastiest bushfoods, Midyim berries are sweet and aromatic—somewhere between an apple, blueberry, and a pinch of spice.

Even better, it’s an absolute workhorse in the garden.

Why it's worth a spot in your yard:

• Delicious fruit: Produces white, speckled berries late summer into autumn that you can eat straight off the bush.
• Showy blooms & bronze growth: Massed with starry little white flowers through spring and summer, with burgundy-bronze new foliage tips.
• Hardy & adaptable: Naturally mounding groundcover/small shrub (around 50cm to 1m).
• Thrives in full sun to dappled shade, handles coastal spots, and clips easily into a low garden border.

Available now in tubestock—cheap to buy in multiples, minimal transplant shock, and gets its roots down fast before the summer heat.

Spring is well and truly putting on a show right now.

If you're looking to get some fresh colour in the ground before the heat really sets in, a few of our favourite spring bloomers are ready to go:

• Geraldton Wax (Chamelaucium alba) — smothered in clean white waxy blooms, aromatic needle foliage, and holds up brilliantly in a vase indoors.

• Callistemon 'Little John' — trusty dwarf bottlebrush with dense blue-grey foliage and rich crimson brushes that the honeyeaters flock to.

• Thryptomene 'F.C. Payne' — weeping, hardy shrub covered in soft pink-white flowers. Ideal for tucking into borders and rockeries.

Just to name a few.

Tubestock is always the easiest on the wallets and settles straight into native soils with minimal fuss or transplant shock.
