Local Native Plants

Local provenance plants are indigenous native plants growing in their home range. Local provenance plants are used for Landcare and bush regeneration projects to preserve ecosystem integrity and biodiversity. They can also be used in urban gardens and landscaping projects.

Local native plants:

Are the right plants in the right place.
Have genetic integrity.
Are more resistant to pests and diseases.
Are drought tolerant.
Have full nectar composition for native animals.
Are longer lasting.
Will distribute seed and contribute to natural regeneration.
