Australian Natives for Winter Colour
Australian Natives for Winter Colour at Natives R Us Plant Nursery
Bring your garden to life during the cooler months!
So, it’s cold, and some of us may be lacking the motivation to get in the garden.
However, there is a multitude of gorgeous Australian native plants that get their bloom on through the Winter months. Winter is the time when many Australian natives burst into vibrant colour that make even the coldest day seem bright.
My Top Winter Flowering Natives
Glorious Grevilleas
Their attractive flowers come in a myriad of colours from reds, yellows, oranges, pinks, purples and creams.
Grevilleas are excellent for attracting bees and nectar feeding birds to your garden and are a particularly important food source during the cooler months.
Beautiful Banksias
Varying in size and habit and a never disappointing flower display throughout the Winter months, Banksias are a wonderful addition to the garden.
With an attractive habit and showy flower spikes varying from bright yellows, browns, reds and oranges, they are an important food source for our beautiful black cockatoos.
Wonderful Wattles
Wattles are Australia’s most iconic plants, the spectacular display of the golden flowers against the clear blue Winter skies is hard to beat. Wattles come in many assorted sizes and are most well known for their super-fast growth rate which is ideal if you have a big gap in the garden to fill or need a screening hedge in a hurry.
Lovely Leptospermums
Otherwise known as tea trees, they grow in a wide range of habits and are available in a huge variety of flower colours from white to pinks, purples, reds and burgundy.
Leptospermums not only make a lovely garden plant, the nectar from the flowers is harvested by bees to make honey.
Happy Hardenbergias
A native climber, also known as Native Sarsaparilla, has dark green, leathery leaves and produces a spectacular display of purple pea flowers during Winter.
It can be trained up a trellis, along a fence or grown as a groundcover. New varieties have now been bred to form a shrub that add that dynamic pop of colour to the garden.
Plant a few of these beauties in your garden and you can enjoy bright spots of colour each and every Winter with Australian Natives for Winter Colour at Natives R Us Plant Nursery
