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.

Boronia megastigma
If you’ve lived in Perth for a while, you may remember the scent of these filling the streets of the CBD where they were sold in bunches in the malls. Interestingly, up to 25% of the population suffer from a condition called boronia anosmia, meaning that they are unable to smell the intense fragrance of the boronia flower! Commonly known as the brown Boronia, we currently have a range of varieties in stock with flower colours including brown, pink, purple and yellow. Plant in soil improved with plenty of organic matter and thick layer of mulch to keep the roots cool. Protect from summer sun and strong winds. Prune by up to a third after flowering to maintain a more compact habit. Plant in pots placed at the front door or in outdoor areas to enjoy the scent throughout spring.
