Plants chosen for where you live
Australia is not one climate. What thrives in Brisbane struggles in Melbourne, and what handles a Perth summer sulks in a Canberra winter. Start with the plants selected for your state and the hard part is done.

Why climate matters
The right plant for the region is the biggest factor in whether it thrives
Temperature extremes, humidity, rainfall and soil all differ across the country. A plant suited to your state establishes faster, grows stronger, needs less water and less work, and is still there in ten years.
- Stronger establishment in the first season
- Faster growth to the size you wanted
- Less stress in heatwaves, frosts and wet summers
- Lower maintenance and fewer replacements
Within your state
Check your own spot too
Conditions vary inside a state, and sometimes inside a garden. Before you choose, think about:
- Coastal salt and wind, or sheltered inland
- Frost in winter, and how hard
- Drainage: does water sit after rain?
- Hours of direct sun the spot actually gets
- The space the plant will have at full size

Common questions
Buying by state
Can I buy from the range of a different state?
Yes. The state ranges are a guide to what performs reliably, not a fence. If a plant from another range suits your spot, ask before ordering and we will tell you.
Do you deliver to every state?
Potted plants and advanced trees are delivered to Queensland, New South Wales, the ACT, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia, where orders are grown by Western Australian nurseries so nothing crosses the quarantine border. Tasmania and the Northern Territory receive tubestock and garden goods, with the quarantine inspection those states require; gift cards go everywhere.
What if my suburb has unusual conditions?
Send your suburb and postcode, the sun the spot gets, your soil if you know it and what you want the plant to do, and we will recommend from real Australian growing conditions.
Are native plants better for my state?
Often, because they evolved for the climate and the wildlife loves them, but it still depends on the site. A coastal native can struggle inland and a rainforest native can struggle on a dry slope.
What should I plant right now?
The planting calendar has a month by month answer for Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and the cool climate regions, with the plants to put in now.
