With over 300 different varieties of plants to choose our aim is to be your one stop perennial plant nursery so you can create a beautiful perennial garden large or small. In response to demand we are also selling shrubs. Visit our website to see varieties as we continue to add to the collection.

All our plants are watered with bore water and occasionally from the sky when it decides to rain, which is not often enough during our long hot Summers with temperatures regularly above 40 degrees celsius. In the Winter it can get down to -5 degrees celsius so all our plants are frost and drought hardy unless indicated. These factors allow us to supply garden ready, well developed and vigorous specimens that can cope with a variety of situations.
