Full Description
Australia's favourite gardening expert has selected the best native plants for every part of the country and soil type, from temperate coastal regions to areas with frost, and the tropical north.
These are tried and tested plants easy to grow in home gardens. They include old favourites-such as grevilleas, orchids and bottle brushes-and popular cultivars, as well as less familiar species. These are plants with vibrant flowers and attractive leaves and shapes that will be a joy to grow, not only because of their beauty but also their reliability.
Top 10 lists help you to find the plants best suited to your conditions, identifying plants for patios, parklands and everything in between. Each plant has a colour photo and details of growing requirements, and whether it attracts native birds and insects.
'Green thumbs will love sifting through this helpful guide...there is something in this practical and informative book for every Australian gardener.' - Country Home Ideas
'If you already grow Australian natives, this book will enable you to extend your successes. If you are a beginner, it will get you off to a great start.' - Highlife
