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.

We are building an free online database of Australian native plants. There is currently information on around 800 Australian native plants, including hundreds of pictures. To look for information on a certain plant, please enter a search string below.
