AUSTRALIAN NATIVE NURSERY PERTH
Zanthorrea Specialises In Australian Plants
Australian native plants are well known for their unique beauty. Long neglected as garden plants in Western Australia, they have had a recent surge in popularity as water-wise alternatives to traditional garden plants. Plant breeders, both in Australia and overseas are developing cultivars and hybrids with wide appeal. As well as looking spectacular in the contemporary or bush garden, our local flora is highly attractive to birds and other native animals.
All the plants we grow on site are potted on by hand and our nursery meets Both NIASA (Nursery Industry Accreditation Scheme Australia) and SGA (Sustainable Gardening Australia) standards.
PLANT OF THE MONTH
Anigozanthos 'Bush Elegance'
Kangaroo paws are a delightful addition to any garden, bringing in many small honeyeaters who feed on the nectar from the unique flowers which are held proudly above the strappy foliage. With nearly every colour of the rainbow now represented in kangaroo paw flowers, you can create wonderful, colourful displays in the garden by mass planting, mixing complimentary colours together, or filling containers and pots with these Australian icons. Bush Elegance is one of the smaller ‘Bush Gem’ varieties with rich, deep burgundy flowers for most of the year. As with most kangaroo paws, Bush Elegance, does best with some afternoon shade and regular summer water. Cut flower spikes off at ground level, once their colour starts to fade to encourage more flowers and feed in autumn and spring.
60cm flower spikes.
$1 from the sale of each plant will be donated to Kanyana Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre.

Banksia baueri
Possum Banksia
Banksia flowers always provide a stunning display, but this one, takes flowering to a whole new level! You would be forgiven for thinking that the huge, cream, furry flowers that are produced from winter to spring are some kind of cuddly animal. This medium shrub is great in mixed native garden beds in full sun or part shade.
2m H x 3m WVerticordia chrysantha
Golden Featherflower
Perfect for those hot spots in the garden, this small, Western Australian, shrub thrives in full sun and sandy soil. Bright yellow flowers cover the bush in summer to create a stunning display of colour when many other plants are not flowering. Drought hardy once established, but weekly summer watering will keep it looking at its best.
1m H x 60cm W
Chorizema cordatum
Heart-leafed Flame Pea
The combination of bright orange and pink with a spot of yellow on the pea flowers produced by this small, Perth hills shrub, make for an eye-catching display of colour in spring. This understory plant does well in shady positions, but will happily grow in full sun as well. Tip prune regularly to encourage a more dense habit. Plant in free draining soil.
1m H x 1.5m W
Eucalyptus kruseana
Bookleaf Mallee
The round, densely overlapping, grey leaves, are the big feature of this small WA tree. As it matures, the bookleaf mallee develops an open, architectural shape which is a wonder feature in the garden. The contrasting grey foliage adds interest in mixed garden beds. Plant in an open, sunny position in free draining soil. Drought and frost hardy once established.
3m H x 3m W
