Indigenous Plants

Plants that are native to a specific area are referred to as indigenous plants, which are best for planting in your garden.

These plants have evolved here over many hundreds of thousands of years and are therefore suited to the environmental conditions that exist - such as water availability, salt tolerance, nutrients and temperature. Indigenous plants will attract native wildlife and increase biodiversity.
