AUSTRALIAN NATIVE NURSERY PERTH
Zanthorrea Specialises In Australian Plants
Australian native plants are well known for their unique beauty. Long neglected as garden plants in Western Australia, they have had a recent surge in popularity as water-wise alternatives to traditional garden plants. Plant breeders, both in Australia and overseas are developing cultivars and hybrids with wide appeal. As well as looking spectacular in the contemporary or bush garden, our local flora is highly attractive to birds and other native animals.
All the plants we grow on site are potted on by hand and our nursery meets Both NIASA (Nursery Industry Accreditation Scheme Australia) and SGA (Sustainable Gardening Australia) standards.
PLANT OF THE MONTH
Chamelaucium 'Purple Pride'
The Chamelaucium uncinatum ‘Purple Pride’ is a large shrub and has been a favourite in Perth for years. Widely known as Geraldton Wax, this spectacular, fast-growing shrub has fine, fragrant foliage, and provides an eye-catching display of vibrant, purple, wax flowers in late winter – spring. Can be planted at the back of mixed garden beds, or mass planted for screening, and flowers are great for cutting and bringing inside to a vase. Prune after flowering to encourage a dense growth habit. Needs good drainage and prefers a sunny spot. Drought hardy once established.
