A Hobart nursery reveals how to curate a garden with striking perennial textures
In short: Hannah visits a unique nursery located along the River Derwent in Hobart East. This segment explores a diverse selection of perennials and shrubs, offering inspiration for gardeners looking to experiment with bold foliage and distinct plant forms in their own landscapes.
The nursery highlights a variety of plants that bring texture and color to the garden, including the Canary Buttercup (Ranunculus cortusifolius), Stinking Hellebore (Helleborus foetidus), and the striking Knotweed (Persicaria microcephala ‘Red Dragon’). Other featured species include the Feather Reed Grass (Calamagrostis ‘Overdam’), Honesty (Lunaria annua ‘Chedglow’), and the Andean Sage (Salvia discolor).
The selection also features the Sticky Hop Bush (Dodonaea viscosa), Scarlet Bee Balm (Monarda didyma ‘Fugue’), and the Geranium ‘Silver Cloak’. While the Globe Artichoke (Cynara cardunculus cv.) is included, the program advises checking local regulations before planting, as it may be classified as an environmental weed in certain regions. This visit is part of the 35th season of Gardening Australia.
