About Native Plants products
Native grass plants can form low planting along paths or fill gaps between larger plants. Across Australia, differences in rainfall and frost mean a species suited to one region may need different care elsewhere. Match the selection to the site's sun exposure, and allow for the width of each clump rather than spacing by the size of its nursery pot.
Native Plants
The shape and growth habit of planting in native landscape gardens affect how paths and open areas work over time. Plant information for native plants should identify the species and its expected size, so ground-cover selections do not obstruct circulation as they spread. Maintain access for weeding and maintenance, particularly where low plants meet paving.
What should I ask a native plant nursery?
Ask where the stock was propagated and whether the species occurs naturally in your area. Local provenance may matter if the planting is intended to support nearby native vegetation.
When should I plant a native garden?
Plant during a mild period when the soil has moisture and extreme heat is unlikely. Allow time for roots to establish before hot or dry weather, with watering adjusted to rainfall.
Does a native plant project need fertiliser?
Check the requirements of each species before adding fertiliser, as some are sensitive to phosphorus. Use a suitable formulation only where the soil and plant requirements justify it.
