Rare and Unusual Plants

Tesselaars have released a new list of rare and unusual plants. We particularly like Arisaema consanguineum and Santolina Primrose Gem (Santolina romarinifolia). Arisaemas are wonderful plants for semis shade, fascinating flowers. Santolina copes well with full sun and is a really tough, drought tolerant plant. You can check out these and other rare and unusual plants at the Tesselaar website.

For more rare and unusual plants visit us at www.nurseriesonline.com.au
