What should I plant with my bamboo?
Comments (4)Hi there - what species of bamboo did you plant please? As it may grow upwards or outwards depending.... I tend to add Mexican feather grass (stipa tenuissima) between plants OR if it has a pretty culm (stem) I strip the lower leaves down and add lighting which looks stunning....See MoreWhat kind of art should go here??

Comments (10)Which Perth suburb? nearly all Perth is awful sand, takes years to get it good. Sabrina Hahn is the best for advice here in Perth; Josh Byrne on Gardening Australia is also wonderful. Succulents are brilliant low care plants, and I was in Bunnings Melville today and saw they have have good sized plants for under $12, so much cheaper than they have been. if you don't want to bring in massive loads of good soil, compost etc, go for the stunning succulents which are now available. North sun in Perth is pretty hot, but it is lovely to have warming your house in winter. perhaps try a tough small deciduous tree like Manchurian Pear - make sure it's not one of the skinny ornamental pears though. if using succulents I am not sure they would complement each other though. Do you really want lawn? It is lovely but quite time consuming. Whatever you do don't forget we only get 2 waterings of 10 minutes each a week; or three waterings if you have a bore, so don't buy anything which is a water guzzler. Josh Byrne, of Gardening Australia, has put in lovely WA natives in his garden - I love our banksia, grevilleas etc, and you can get fabulous different coloured kangaroo paws now too, you could fill in the front area with these, and use one iof our lovely Pepper trees, or one or two or three of the stunning Ficifolia Eucalyptus (smallish trees with blossoms of hot orange or dark red), or a wonderful Eucalyptus Macrocarpa with its large silver leaves and huge red blossoms - google it, you will love it. Orange gravel rolled into bitumen is a lovely driveway finish, if you can find someone to do it in Perth! I can't, only can find a coloured gravel which I hate. I also love the way smallish stones or gravel are used as driveway surfaces, but a bit tricky for older people like me to walk on. if you are going for lawn, perhaps a circle in the centre of the lawn, with a Meyer Lemon, which is quite low care, and would look lovely with tough blue and agapantus surrounding it - a simple garden, easily maintained. The lemon would love the north aspect. Improve the soil for the lemon though. Rosemary hedges are lovely, you could edge the drive with that. Also a tough plant which grows well in Perth....See MoreWhat should I plant along this fenceline?
Comments (10)@bigreader thanks also. I just came across Angus' site tonight. FYI the man at the nursery also suggested I do "succession planting" (assuming that's what you mean) i.e. put the lilly pillys at the back and put a row of ?cant remember the plant he suggested? in front that grows more quickly than the Lilly Pilly so will provide screening in quick time up to 2 metres whilst waiting for the Lilly Pilly to grow. I opted out of because really I want the screening to create/fill in the border around the property - the reality is that the trees won't really act as screening much at all for many years (the trees need to get quite tall!) as the house up the back is UP THE HILL so unless they come DOWN their backyard (which they rarely do) the screening is not really blocking any views into my backyard....See MoreUser
