WANTED: small-medium waterwise natives

Posted by valvicoz Victoria Asutralia (My Page) on Wed, Nov 15, 06 at 4:42
| I am turning my garden over to anything that doesnt need extra water in Melbourne. Its a suburban garden, so anything that grows up to 2M is OK.
Starting a succulent collection and would like to grow natives where I dont have succulents.
Can trade water plants or garden books. Willing to try seed (although havent had much success)and must admit to stealing a few cuttings. Apart from correas, again havent had much success.
Would love to talk to anyone interested in natives or with natives to trade. |

You should be able to have some success with accacia seeds. Keep your eyes out for some that are just about drying now. Even in the botanic gardens, which may be another place for you to source seeds and plants in their shop and regular garden stall. Local council and roadside gardens have seeds around. Native clematis ,'old man's beard' is ready too if you are travelling into the dandenongs.
I have viola hederacea, native violet, ready.
Westringea fruiticosa, coastal rosemary, is hardy. My cuttings are not ready to shift yet. Buy one plant and do some cuttings yourself.
scaevola, will grow extra plants with layering.
as will dampiera.
Mine are not ready to send to you as my garden is fairly new. |
