Violets x 2

We have two different varieties of native violet in stock and flowering now- Viola betonicifolia (arrow-leafed violet) and Viola banksii. Both like moist, semi-shaded areas and are quite tough once they are established. Viola betonicifolia grows as a single plant from a rosette of arrow shaped leaves whereas Viola banksii spreads to form a lovely ground cover. Both are native to Coochiemudlo Island.

Wattle time

We have tubestock of the lovely Eprapah wattle (Acacia fimbriata), which is just coming into flower now. The Eprapah wattle is a 'classic wattle', closely related to the Brisbane wattle, with golden fluffy flowers. It is a small tree, suitable for gardens and very hardy.

We are at the Nursery every Tuesday morning so please drop by and select some plants- Only $3 each.

Very Special Plants

These seedlings of Native jute (Corchorus cunninghamii) are very rare. Native jute's natural range is between Lismore and Brisbane, including Mount Cotton. It is now listed as an endangered species, because most plants in the wild have been destroyed by land clearing. Our seeds were donated to us by a local resident. We hope to have some for sale in a few months time.
