Grevilleas, great for gardens

Posted by Bill Richardson Jun 20, 2006

When looking for new plants for our Australian gardens, it is hard to go past Grevilleas. All nurseries stock them, as well as plenty of other local native species such as Eucalypts, Hakeas, Acacias (Wattles), Boronias etc.

It is best to look around local gardens in your area to see what other gardeners are growing. This will give you an idea of how large and wide some of these species grow and if your are lucky, you will see flowers.

Plant for the seasons and you can have flowers and lovely foliage all year round. Often they fit in well with many of the exotics that we also grow, as long as you choose plants that are good companion plants and require similar conditions.

In the coming weeks, we will be looking at different plants and gardening ideas that may be useful to you.
