Hi, hoping to receive some suggestions on other plants we could use instead of grass trees. We love the look of grass trees, but today was quoted the expected costs for them, we wanted 4. We are now looking at a cheaper alternative
We live in Mandurah, they will be for the front verge. We will be using split pea gravel as the main ground cover. We will have 4 distinct, square garden edged beds made. We are also having built a brick wall along the front of our house, approximately 1.8 metres high.
We are looking at something simple, not flowery and will suite a contemporary style home.
I been driving around and have seen a lovely spiky purple/green type plant with a bit of solid trunk (approx 3' high). As you can probably gather, I am not very good at plants and their names. But I really liked the look of these. I intend to visit a nursery within the next few weeks, but if someone has any suggestions I will follow them up. (I should have taken a photo)
EDIT: The plants will be north facing, full sun.
Thank you.
