Australia is a place like no other, from the sunburnt desert out west to the waves crashing on the rocks at Straddie it is truly a beautiful country.

In celebration of our country’s beauty, we thought that this Australia Day we’ll share with you out 6 favourite Aussie Garden Heroes. This is a great time to celebrate the unique plants that are an important part of the Australian story.

Grevillea
There always seems to be a Grevillea plant in flower to brighten the garden or landscape.

Callistemons 
Callistemons “Australian Bottlebrush’ are hardy and very colourful in the home garden. The native birds love them.

Finger Limes
Discover the tasty Australian bush tucker to grow at home. Finger Limes are Australian native citrus plants that produce fruit with caviar-like pulp.

Lomandra 
Lomandra are tough native strappy plants that are great for erosion control. Excellent on banks and mass planted in gardens.

Golden Penda
Spectacular Golden Penda ‘Xanthostemon chrysanthus’ are adding wonderful golden colour to the celebrations.
