Tropical flowering trees and shrubs are the plants that make a garden lush. Colour overhead, scent at the door, and something in bloom most of the year.
We’re unashamedly biased towards fragrance. A gardenia by a path or a flowering vine over a patio does something no amount of foliage can — you notice it before you see it. If you’ve ever walked past a plant in flower at dusk and stopped, you’ll know what we mean.
There’s wildlife in it too. Nectar-rich blooms bring in bees, butterflies, moths and honeyeaters, and a garden with something always flowering keeps them coming back through the year. We have a winter flowering tag on flowering plants that will keep nectar feeders happy through autumn and winter.
Use them for the bones and filler our your tropical garden’s design. A feature tree for shade and presence, shrubs for screening, vines to soften a fence or shade a pergola.
All the tropical trees, shrubs and vines here is propagated on site, in small numbers. The range shifts through the year with what’s ready.
