The attached list shows our general species list of indigenous plants of the Adelaide coast, plains and foothills. We are continually adding new species, so please contact us if the species you want is not listed. We can assist with species selection for any project around the Adelaide region.
We have a rotating stock year-round depending on species growing seasons. We are typically ahead of the planting time so that when we have them in stock they will thrive once planted. All our plants are raised from seeds or cuttings collected locally and so are perfectly adapted to our local climate and soils.
