    Hi to everyone. I have been gardening as an interest and a job for years and I still need advice from time to time. I mainly love evergreen plants,shrubs and trees and love evergreens of different colour leaves such as choysia sundance (yellows) Phormiums evening glow (reds) fatsia (greens) teucrium fruticans (silver/grey) dodonaea viscosa (purple) I like Flowers as well but they come second in my garden I also have a collection of houseplants. I'm pleased to have joined this forum to gain and if possible give advise.

    Andrew

    Well they could be allergic to you too. But the aroma is nice. I find its smells akin a little to rosemary. I thinks it's the outdoor equivalent to a bushy schefflera. And less in invasive too.
