How to grow Australian native plants
Australia is a vast continent with
many natural environments, from
the dense rain forests of the north,
to the Alpine meadows of the
south, and the hot dry deserts
of the centre. In each of these
environments, many plants have
evolved to cope with their
surroundings. The large lush
leaves of‑rainforest plants, for
example, contrast markedly with
the fine prickly foliage of desert
plants. Their need for water and
nutrient, and their preference
for sunlight, also differs greatly.
And because of this diversity in
growing preference and habit,
there are native plants to suit
almost any garden situation, in
any climatic region. This MitrePlan
looks at many of the interesting
and often strikingly beautiful
Australian natives available for
different garden styles, with tips
on planting and maintenance.
