One of Australia's most iconic plant groups. These plants found across much of Australia,
in stony, sand and poor soils. Spectacular in the landscape and in garden designs,
especially when mixed with other drought-hardy sun loving plants. Few people are aware
of the many different species, from miniatures to blue giants! 28 pages A4 booklet
Filled to the brim with high quality colour photographs and useful information about
these plants in habitat and in cultivation!
