Favourite Australian Plants

Winner of the 2018 HMAA Laurel Award for best book.

Favourite Australian Plants – 500 popular natives for your garden is an updated edition of 500 Plants – Great Australian Favourites for Your Garden by Angus Stewart. It features all the latest best-loved native plants selected by Angus with all the information you need to choose the right one for your situation for every part of the country and soil type, from temperate coastal regions to areas with frost, and the tropical north.

These are tried and tested plants easy to grow in home gardens. They include old favourites-such as grevilleas, orchids and bottle brushes-and popular cultivars, as well as less familiar species. These are plants with vibrant flowers and attractive leaves and shapes that will be a joy to grow, not only because of their beauty but also their reliability.

Top 10 lists help you to find the plants best suited to your conditions, identifying plants for patios, parklands and everything in between. Each plant has a colour photo and details of growing requirements, and whether it attracts native birds and insects.
