Natives

Delicate yet surprisingly tough, the Tender Brake Fern brings a lace-like elegance to shaded gardens, patios, and indoor spaces. Its pale green, finely divided fronds and reddish-brown stems create a soft, airy look that gently brightens cool, damp corners. Native to much of Australia, this medium-sized fern thrives in moist, shady spots — whether in garden beds, beneath tree canopies, or nestled in a decorative indoor pot. Just keep the humidity up, water regularly, and feed occasionally, and you’ll be rewarded with graceful, year-round greenery.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Filtered sunlight to partial shade to full shade. Frost tender.
Size: Height 0.60m x width 1.5m

Grevillea Mello Yellow is a spectacular form of the woolly grevillea which is a superb plant for cooler climates such as the southern states of Australia. Mello Yellow is a reliable evergreen with deep-green narrow leaves and a neat compact growth habit. Pale, custard-yellow flowers appear in autumn and continue blooming through to mid-spring.
It's a little shy to flower when young, compared to other mini grevilleas, but worth the wait for the unusual flower colour. Mello Yellow is happy in coastal and seaside gardens, windy locations, rockeries as well as window boxes and containers. Once established it is a very low-maintenance plant drawing bees and native birds to the garden.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Drought, frost and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 0.3m x width 1m

Lomandra longifolia Nyalla has evergreen fine foliage that looks like a grass tree, but it’s trunkless, faster growing and doesn’t need annual trimming! The arching, strappy leaves frame small vivid yellow flowers from September to October, contrasting nicely against its blue-toned foliage. Nyalla is suited for mass planting in gardens, roadsides, and residential and commercial planting. The foliage is also popular in flower arrangements as foliage filler. 

Soil: Prefers sandy loam, clay loam and free-draining light clay.
Conditions: Full sun to shaded positions. Drought, light frost and coastal hardy.
