Babingtonia plants and Species

Babingtonia are a medium to small shrub and is sometimes known as 'Howies Feather Tips', although this name actually refers to a cultivar developed by Howies Nursery in Queensland.

Babingtonia prefer a well drained but moist sunny position. Babingtonia 'Howies Feather Tips' is great for growing near the edge of a garden wall, its drooping habit creating a cascading effect.

Babingtonia Sweet Midget is a smaller growing variety. One other variety to look for is Babingtonia 'White Cascade', this variety flowers in both autumn and summer and is reasonably drought and frost tolerant.
