Successfully Growing Australian Native Plants

This unique book is actually two separate but related books in the one cover. Successfully Growing Australian Native Plants takes a practical approach to the basic steps of planning, establishing and maintaining an Australian plant garden and outlines the main methods of plant propagation.

Colour Your Garden with Australian Natives was first published in 1992 and provides more detail on how to go about choosing Australian plants for year-round colour, using not only the flowers but also foliage, bark and fruits. Both are profusely illustrated with high quality colour photographs and have good lists of further reading and indexes to botanical and common names.

Information is also given about Botanic Gardens, Arboreta and Wildflower Gardens in all states. Readers are encouraged to visit them to see a wide selection of plants in cultivation and to learn more about their special requirements.
