Will Native Plants Look Good in My Garden
Will
Native Plants Look Good in My Garden?
Of course they will! Native Australian
plants have long had a reputation of being bland and boring, but
yet there are a huge variety of wonderful plants to choose
from.
There are plenty of ground cover, shrubs,
trees and grasses that have always had their place in a visually
pleasing garden. Over the years these commonly-used species plus
other less-attractive species have been grown and cross pollinated
to form more colourful or striking specimens. We now have a great
range of native plants that look as good as any other plant that
could go into your garden.
The difference with natives, however, is
that by using them you already have a head start. Many exotic
species need special attention, more frequent fertilising due to
our poor soils, and more water. Natives, being indigenous to here,
can survive with only a fraction of the care. They still need their
watering and fertiliser, but nowhere near as much as exotic
plants
Most natives also attract native birds and
grasses around water features can attract frogs. They can be
perfect in the right application.
