I have a number of large trees, including lillipilli's and cheese tree's.
I need suggestions for underplanting these, Ozzie natives that like dappled to full shade, preferably native to the Central Coast, NSW. |

How about Zieria smithii, some of the correas(especially successful is Correa baeuerleni (Chefs hat Correa) grows easily from cuttings),Phebalium squamulosum, Doodia aspera, Dianella (tasmanica and caerulea), Bulbine bulbosa, Liberta paniculata, Gonocarpus teucrioides. Pultanaea villosa if you have filtered sun.
Check with your council/Bushcare/Alan Fairley & Philip Moore "Native Plants of the Sydney District" if these are suitable/local to your area.

| Carol, there might be some plants coming up on their own, under your trees. Plant local provenance plants to complete your local habitat. Have a look at www.organicmatters.com.au. |

| Chef's hat correa an excellent choice. I've also had lots os success with a grevillea - forest rambler which grows well in dense shade and will even flower (pale pink/green toothbrush flowers, very delicate) in quite deep shade. |

| Kreysigia multiflora, charming little rainforest ground -cover in liliaceae family, probably has a new name now. Zig-zag stems, lilac flowers, I could send you a division or maybe seeds if interested |
