It has clusters of small purple flowers with white edges, on spray like stems on the end of the branches. It appears to flower from late spring through til the beginning of winter. Bees and butterflies love the flowers. Just now some of the flowers are giving way to small yellow/orange berries. The leaves are green with serrated edges and the trunk is light in colour and fairly smooth. No one I know can identify it and I haven't had any luck on websites.
I am trying to identify an evergreen tree in my yard in Melbourne. It has clusters of small purple flowers.?
I would suggest you take the flower/berries to your local nursery for identification
Here is a site for Aussie trees

I want some beautiful hardy white flowers, pink flowers and purple flowers. I love hycinth but it always seems

The bushes you mention are called rose of sharon. They are a relative of the hyacinth.
Some hardy annuals that have the colors you request are petunias, pansies, verbenas, portulacas, and snapdragons.
Some perennials would be columbine, impatiens, dianthus, daisies, astilbes, and coral bells.
Lamiums (sometimes called dead nettle) are groundcovers that flower in white and pink. There are two newer varities that have purple flowers also.
Edit:
Rose of sharon is a relative of the hibiscus, not the hyacinth. I think what you're thinking of is a lilac.
Edit : Reynwater is correct, impatiens is not a perennial. Must have had a brain seizure.
Reply:If I were you I would go to my local plant nursery and ask them. Hyacinth should do really well in your climate, but they are only a spring flowering bulb. You need to have suggestions given to you by someone in your area, based on your soil, sun exposure and the amount of maintenance you care to do.

(impatiens are not perennial)
Reply:try Hydrangea's they come in white ,pink and blue and purple's and can grow very tall but have your sole checked before you plant flowers its in the sole if your flowers change colors
Reply:Hyacinth is a early spring bloomer that only lasts for a short time. They do come back every year though.
Reply:Sage grows in pink and white and red. I've had all three in 110F Southwest Desert weather and they grow BEAUTIFULLY!

What's the name of that plant that's white and fuzzy with red-purple flowers?
I tried google imaging, but I can't seem to find a picture of it. I've seen it around every once in a while here in British Columbia... The stem, leaves, etc are white and sort of fuzzy/velvety (I think it's the fuzz that makes it white), and the flowers are red-purple. They're quite pretty, they've been a favourite of mine for a while.
What's the name of that plant that's white and fuzzy with red-purple flowers?
Could it be a Dusty Miller. I have included a web site with a picture.
Reply:sounds like Stachys monnieri aka "Lamb's Ear"

Reply:is this a indoor or an outdoor plant because the only thing that I can think of is a african violet that has white leaves this is a indoor plant.

What purple flowers are good in a wedding bouquet?
The theme for my wedding is a darker purple and I have no idea about flowers.
What purple flowers are good in a wedding bouquet?
Irises, freesia, lilacs...they all smell terrific! Also orchids are gorgeous. You can a lso look for lavender colored roses. They would offset all the deep purple. And Maybe throw in some white mini roses too. Lavendar is good too. These all have amazing scents to them.
Goodluck and CONGRATS!!!
Reply:Lilacs are beautiful and smell wonderful.
Reply:Lilacs and orchids are awesome! But also try irises.
Reply:Irises
Reply:Depends when you are getting married, if it is between know and May, try these flowers:-
Cirsium Vulgae-its a cornflower, bit prickly.
Centaur ea Nigra-Lovely
Aubrieta
Tragopogon Porrifolius.
The above flowers all grow within the British Isles..
Happy Wedding days....
Reply:Iris's look really good with roses.
Reply:Hi
Vanda Orchids look amazing! but there are some lovely choices for this colour theme - roses are perfect for your bouquet. We would suggest Blue Curiosa or Cool Water which have a blue tone (try putting these names into google for these images then you can get an idea of what they look like) - alternatively for a more contemporary look try Calla Lily's Picasso or Purple Haze
For added interest there are lots of flowers in this colour palette to choose from including freesia, agapanthus, hyacinth, veronica, brodia or lisianthus.
If you are organising your flowers try the planning section where there are hints on what flowers you might need and how much they'll cost.
Reply:Any purple flowers.
Reply:jeggy nettles..at full bloom...
Reply:You can get beautiful dark purple orchids. Probably a bit pricey though.
Congratulations on your forth-coming wedding!!!
Reply:purple tulips are lovely ....

Reply:Hiya, what about Feucha they smell lovely. Also you can now buy purple carnations, they last for ages.
Reply:i like crocuses...also there are violets and pansies, but they're all kind of tiny, so i'm not sure about how well they'd work... i like irises...that's a good idea! bachelor's buttons are a bluish purple colour also, there's columbine, which can be pink or white as well...plus it's a wild flower and grows in the wild...at least it does in NY.
Reply:Thistles are lovely, i had them in mine.
I can send you pics if you want to see them
Reply:You can always buy some Ritz dye in the color of the theme then put it in the water that the flowers are going to soak up to change the color of it accordingly.
Otherwise get aa neutral color like yellow among purple daffodils and purple orchids. Perhaps carnations as well.
Reply:Orchids!
Reply:Purple freeshia are a lovely small delicate flower %26amp; are perfect in a wedding bouquet.
They are small enough to mix with the white flowers %26amp; greenery %26amp; smell lovely.
Or if you want something darker look out for a purple Calla Lily.

How do I get rid of the little white and purple flowers that taking over my lawn?
Our front lawn is being taken over by these tiny little white and purple flowers. They are not clover or morning glories, rather their petals look like tiny daisy petals. When we mowed they came back with a vengeance! Help!
How do I get rid of the little white and purple flowers that taking over my lawn?
There are broadleaf herbicides that should kil the weed and leave the grass. Look for them at the local homestore.
Reply:"They came back with a vengence" it was because the terminal bud was removed, causing auxilliary buds to sprout making a fuller plant. Could it be henbit? (see link) a great medicinal for cuts, bruises, and scrapes.
http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/im...
They only last a couple of months then die back. Very easy to pull. Or eradicate with weed and feed.
Reply:It sounds like an aster, leave them be or if you must get rid of them pour boiling hot water or vinegar on them instead of chemicals
Reply:why do you want to get rid of them; sounds pretty !
Reply:Hi; important question; do they only bloom in spring? then they are probably anemone blanda, which is a bulb and doesn;t hurt the lawn, since they go dormant in summer. If they bloom all summer too, it's something else.
I'm just curious; why do you want to get rid of them; they sound charming! Are they harming the lawn? You could try taking the leaf and flower to your county extension agent or master gardener,and getting the plant identified; then you'd know what you are dealing with, if it's a noxious weed, and how better to get rid of it, if that's what you choose to do.
