Specimen plants create a sense of drama and interest, elevating the overall aesthetic of the garden.

Perennials
Perennials are the backbone of every garden, adding beauty, structure, and long-lasting charm. Unlike annuals that need to be replanted every year, perennials are plants that return year after year, bringing continuous delight to the landscape. These enduring plants come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colours, and textures, offering endless possibilities for garden design. From vibrant flowers to graceful grasses, from aromatic herbs to striking foliage, perennials provide an ever- changing tapestry of visual interest. Whether you prefer a cottage garden bursting with blooms or a modern landscape with sculptural elements, there is a perennial to suit every taste and style. With proper care and maintenance, perennials can thrive for many years, creating a lasting legacy in your garden and allowing you to enjoy their beauty season after season.
Native Ground Covers
Australia boasts a remarkable array of native ground covers that add beauty, resilience, and ecological significance to its diverse landscapes. These indigenous ground covers have evolved over thousands of years, adapting to the continent's unique climate and soil conditions. They play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem stability, preventing erosion, retaining soil moisture by reducing evaporation and providing habitat for native fauna. From the vibrant carpets of coastal pigface that adorn sandy beaches to species that attract native birds and pollinating insects, Australia's native ground covers showcase an astonishing range of colours, textures, and forms. Embracing these native ground covers not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of gardens and landscapes but also fosters a deeper connection to the country's rich natural heritage and promotes sustainable gardening practices.
