Information about plants & gardens for Brisbane & Qld
 
   

 

Plants


This list is a work in progress. The intention is to develop a resource about plants that grow in Qld gardens (or could potentially be grown), concentrating on ornamentals for the subtropical and tropical regions.

Nevertheless, be aware that some species within a listed genus might be unsuitable for cultivation in Qld, recognised weeds or even illegal to grow here. Be sure to check the suitability of any plant for a given location before planting.

A few popular plants better suited to cooler and/or Mediterranean climates may be included because many people will be searching for advice on how to grow them in Qld. Only the most commonly cultivated and readily available Australian native genera for home gardens will be listed.

For the sake of legibility on screen, botanical names in the list have not been italicised.
