A superb Argentine & Chilean shrub to small tree for the mildest of gardens. Related to Embothrium or Chilean Fire Tree, this has intricate flowers of yellow and red but the Silk Oak-like foliage outshines the bloom. Has the Proteaceae dislike of phosphorous.

The Tree Lomatia from Australia.  As the name implies, this can get large - up to 20' or so.  Here in the PNW, this will likely be a large shrub, getting taller as you move down the west coast.  Bewildering array of leaf shapes within the species, this is but one form.  White, scented flowers in summer.

A graceful thin-leaved evergreen shrub from Australia which has not been even slightly damaged by our occasional winter lows to 10F.  Great texture and the profuse white clove-scented flowers in midsummer sends our various bee species into a frenzy of nectar and pollen gathering! Phosphorous sensitive so skip the fertilizer.
