A clump-forming extremely hardy perennial succulent that grows to about 1 m high, its leaves are upright and straplike, varying in width to about 9 cm and with a sharply pointed tip. Distinguished by stolons (underground stems), its leaves are usually deep green with grey, light green or yellow bands and reddish, yellow or light green leaf margins. Its flowers are not highly significant but its berries are, especially to birds as they are a bright orange-red when ripe.

A highly ornamental, dwarf form of Pandanus that generally grows to only about 0.5 m. It has attractive, long, narrow grass-like leaves edged with clear yellow. and will form a dense cover. It requires very little maintenance. Its one drawback is that the leaf edges have sharp prickles, so it should not be planted close to paths and walkways. To develop full foliage colouration, it should be planted in full-sun; in shady locations the leaves may revert to all green. It is easily propagated by lifting and dividing clumps.

An unusual plant endemic to northern areas of WA and parts of the NT. Its appearance is rather cactus or succulent-like in that it has no distinctive stems or leaves but rather flattened, leaf-like stems (called cladodes) from which bright yellow, pea flowers are produced. The common name is derived from the holly-like shape of these cladodes. Depending on growing conditions, it may vary in height from 0.5 to 2 m.

An evergreen group of plants that are native to Northern and Central America. These extremely hardy plants are adaptable to most soils and positions and are drought resistant. Some species can attain a height of 4 m (Joshua Tree) but most are around 1.5–2 m. They provide a variety of leaf shapes and colours ranging form dark green to grey. The spectacular bell-shaped flowers are predominately white and are borne on erect terminal spikes. This Genus has become an increasingly popular landscape plant in the drought affected areas of Australia.
