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.
