PERENNIAL FAVOURITES

CLIMBING PLANTS

Australian climbing plants are found in bushland and in rainforest. The latter, while having beautiful flowers, tend to be strong climbers that make their way through the dense undergrowth towards the light. The bushland climbers often also serve as ground covers where there is nothing provided for them to climb upon. We list below the species that are available in the nursery during the year.
