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
Pimelea ferruginea
Pink Rice Flower
The Pink Rice Flower is a versatile small shrub with a neat, compact growth habit, making it good choice for low borders, poolside plantings, pots, rockeries, cottage style gardens and mixed native garden beds. It naturally grows along the limestone coastal areas of WA, so this is also a great choice for coastal gardens and alkaline soils. It has dense, glossy leaves and produces crowded clusters of bright pink flower heads during spring and summer creating a beautiful display and splash of colour. Flowers will attract butterflies, hoverflies and other native pollinators. Best in full sun, but will tolerate part shade. Pruning after flowering to remove spent flower heads will help to keep the bush looking neat and tidy.

NURSERY PLANTS Perth
Xerochrysum bracteata
‘Mohave’
This colourful range of paper daisy flowers will bring a cheerful pop of colour to your garden beds, rockery, pots and outdoor areas. With a colour range including ‘Mohave Fire Red’, ‘Mohave Orange’, ‘Mohave Pink’, ‘Mohave Purple Red’, and ‘Mohave White’, everyone is bound to find a
colour, or colour combination, that brings that pizzazz to a dull spot. All
year flowers and low maintenance, make up for the short-lived nature of this small shrub. Although it is a perennial in its natural range, it is generally an annual in Perth. Plant in full sun in free draining soil.
40cm H x 40cm W
Orthrosanthus multiflorus
Morning Iris
This is one of those great little plants that everyone has a spot for in their garden. The tufting habit and strappy leaves provide a lovely contrast in texture and movement in the garden. In spring-summer pretty blue flowers are produced on stems above the foliage. Each flower only lasts a day; however, they are produced in such abundance that there are bright new flowers every day throughout the flowering period. Great in mixed garden beds, cottage gardens, around pools, rockeries, and the soft growth means they are pet and child friendly. Will grow in full sun or part shade in most soil types.
60cm H x 60cm W
Grevillea 'Moonlight'
A fantastic large grevillea which is adaptable, reliable and flowers all year, what more could you want?! Dark green leaves show off the creamy coloured flowers produced in clusters on the ends of the branches. Flowers will attract nectar feeding birds to your garden and the dense branching helps to create habitat and nesting sites. Use as a screen, as a backdrop of native garden beds, a feature in the middle of a garden bed, or under-prune to form an attractive small tree. Best in full sun, but will tolerate part shade. Plant in free draining soil. Prune behind spent flowers to encourage a tidier look and promote more flowers.
4m H x 4m W
Chamelaucium 'Pristine White'
This is a smaller, more compact form of the well-known and loved, Geraldton Wax, making it suitable for those small spaces and smaller gardens. Large, pure white, wax flowers are produced among the narrow, aromatic leaves in winter to spring. Flowers are full of nectar and will bring many nectar feeding insects and pollinators in to your garden. Use as a low border, in small spaces, mixed native garden beds, pots and cottage style gardens. Best in full sun in free draining soil.
1m H x 1m W
Anigozanthos 'Bush Pearl'
A tried-and-true, hybrid, dwarf kangaroo paw with masses of pink flowers all year, if treated with regular maintenance. To get the best out of this plant, make sure to feed regularly with a good quality, controlled-release, or slow-release fertiliser, and don’t let it dry out for too long over the hot dry months. Cut the flower spikes, along with the associate leaf fan, down to the ground once the flower starts to lose its colour to encourage clean new leaves and more flowers. Looks great mass planted in garden beds and also performs really well in a pot. Plant in full sun or part shade in free draining soil.
80cm H x 70cm W
Philotheca myoporoides
A versatile east coast native, that loves a home Perth! The white/pale pink star shaped flowers are produced in masses all along the branches, among the dark green foliage for a long period from winter to spring. It is a hardy, medium shrub with a dense growth habit that will withstand windy sites without breaking. It will tolerate frost and drought, once established. Great to plant in an area where you will brush past and release the beautifully fresh smelling, aroma of the foliage. Will grow happily in sun or part shade in free draining soil.
