Pig face has one flaw, cattle love to eat it. We had some on a slope as ground cover and it looked stunning. One day I let a couple of cows in that small paddock as the grass was ankle deep and the cows were looking a bit skinny. They ignored the grass and stripped the slope bare of pigface!
Great video! We're looking for natives for our new garden in WA's Southwest. I love your favourite shrub. The colours are divine! All the shrubs are stunners. I will consider them. Thank you!

Regarding the cootamundra wattle it can become a pest as it can out compete endemic species in the area. In an urban yard it should be fine but if you are planting on a property or next to the bush please consider this before establishing in your yard.
Hi, Ultimate backyard, I absolutely love gardening. I wish I had more time to attend to my garden. I have some rosebushes and they all have a scent. I love roses, I also have a vegetable garden elevated bed. I grow spinach, pumpkins, beans, radishes, tomatoes and herbs. I have a really good oregano plant that gives me 3 jars of oregano once I dry it. It's the best. Store bought doesn't compare. My fern collection love the shade and enjoy filtered light. I also have a vast collection of succulents which I love. Now I know why my lettuce gets shriveled up. Too much sunlight. Thank you.🌿🌹
How invasive are the root systems Is something i think you need to include in this As most people have drains and power cables under ground I loved the information you supplied Im not attacking you just trying to be helpful Cheers guys

I love lavender but I can't bring any cut flowers inside because I have cats. Apparently lavender is toxic to cats. I have French lavender and always cut it right down after its finished flowering.🪻
I found some old coloured pots and decided to make macrame with some jute. I hung up about 5 pots with some spider plants from some cuttings. Thank you for the information about which plants are ideal. I love ferns and succulents. Whenever I go for a walk I always find different succulents on the pathways. I have a green thumb and grow many cuttings successfully. I have many varieties of succulents.🌱🌱🌿🌿
It's amazing how many Australian native plants are used here in Southern California. I am happy to have discovered your channel and gained encouragement and wisdom...🤠🙏
I live in Western Aus and I was amazed how many similarities I found between here and LA..! Both Mediterranean climates so thats a start.. glad to hear you're enjoying our aussie natives over there too, they're amazing specimens!
hI. Thanks for your sharing. I have three reosemary plant for 3 years. they never grow and now they are almost all brown. Are they dead? Should i throw it away and buy new plant? Thanks for any advice.
So my passion fruit vine is dropping some red and some green fruit - I am not picking it just letting the plant decide when ripe. They are large fruit. It gets consistent water - is there a problem or just the plant doing its thing? Last year it only dropped red fruit.
