{"title":"Australian Natives","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver 500 Australian natives live here, from 15cm groundcovers to rainforest trees, lilly pillies and lomandras to banksias, wattles and grass trees. Two things decide whether a native thrives in your garden: matching the plant to your climate, because a species from the Queensland rainforest has nothing in common with one from the Nullarbor, and choosing between compact modern cultivars and the bigger wild forms. The guide below covers both, plus the low phosphorus feeding rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose native plants that fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe modern cultivars are where most gardens should start, because breeders have spent decades taming the sizes. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/lilly-pilly-resilience-syzygium-australe-resilience\"\u003eLilly Pilly 'Resilience'\u003c\/a\u003e (\u003cem\u003eSyzygium australe\u003c\/em\u003e) reaches about 5m untrimmed but holds happily at 2m to 3m as a psyllid resistant hedge, Westringia 'Zena' stops at a tidy 1m ball, and Lomandra 'Lime Tuff' makes a 50cm tuft that survives nearly anything. The wild forms bring the scale: Coast Banksia at 8m or more, Queensland Bottle Tree with its swollen trunk, and grass trees that predate the suburb around them. Browse by habit through our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/australian-native-shrubs\"\u003enative shrubs\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/australian-native-trees\"\u003enative trees\u003c\/a\u003e collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMatch the plant to your climate, not the flag\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNative does not mean suited to every Australian garden. Lilly pillies, lemon myrtle and Ivory Curl Tree come from the humid east coast and take only light frost, so in Melbourne, Canberra or the Adelaide Hills lean instead on the genuinely frost hardy natives: westringia, callistemon, banksia, lomandra and creeping boobialla all shrug off cold, and most of them handle coastal salt and poor soil as well. In the tropics and subtropics almost everything here performs. Filter by your climate zone rather than assuming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting and spacing that works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpacings from our growing data: 'Resilience' at 1m centres for a dense screen, Callistemon 'Kings Park Special' at 1.5m, 'Zena' at 600mm for a low hedge, 'Lime Tuff' at 50cm for massed borders, Native Violet at 300mm for quick groundcover in moist shade and Creeping Boobialla at 1m to carpet a dry bank. For a coastal windbreak, set Coast Banksia 3m apart. Plant into soil loosened twice the pot width, water in well, mulch, and skip the manure: most natives prefer lean soil to a rich one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare, and the phosphorus rule\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBanksias and their Proteaceae relatives are sensitive to phosphorus, so feed natives with a low phosphorus native fertiliser rather than a general purpose one. Beyond that, the routine is light: deep weekly water through the first summer, then most of this range is drought tolerant on rainfall, and a trim straight after flowering keeps shrubs dense instead of leggy. Bird attracting is where natives repay you; over 400 plants here carry that flag, and the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bird-attracting\"\u003ebird attracting collection\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grevilleas\"\u003egrevilleas\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/callistemons\"\u003ebottlebrushes\u003c\/a\u003e keep honeyeaters arriving year round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre Australian natives low maintenance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLower, not zero.

A mix of flowering seasons keeps the traffic constant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre natives safe for dogs and cats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the popular ones carry our Pet Friendly flag, including 'Resilience', 'Lime Tuff', Native Violet and 'Kings Park Special'.
