landscaping with australian plants Australian Native Plants have many practical and ornamental uses in landscaping and garden design and we hope to show some of the possibilities here.
(Above) Here's a good example of a native plant used as a hedge. This is Westringia fruticosa, a very hardy and reliable plant.
Here's a good reason to grow natives in your garden. This is the very popular and hardy Grevillea Ned Kelly providing nectar and shelter for a Rosella.
Above is an excellent example of landscaping with native grasses. This the Swamp Foxtail or Pennisetum alopecuroides used as a path border and creates a relaxed feel as you're walking along.
(ABOVE)This is the hardiest and tallest of all the Kangaroo Paw varieties, Anigozanthos flavidus. This reliable plant thrives is this position where it gets the occasional splash and contrasts nicely with the cool blue of the pool.
(ABOVE) Corymbia maculata or as it's commonly known, Spotted Gum, works well in parks and large gardens. Notice Eucalyptus crebra to the left. One of only several 'Iron Bark' gums.
(ABOVE) Poa labillardieri is a small grass plant that is very hardy in all sorts of situations. Here it is used very effectively in a public space and in a very cold area.
Above is a hardy climber called Pandorea Jasminoides or Bower of Beauty. It's often used to cover garden arches as is the case here. The pink flowers and glossy green leaves contrast beautifully.
