Planting Tips:
Australian Natives do not require too much work to get them settled in the garden. By applying an Australian Native fertiliser in their prime growing seasons, Spring and early Autumn, will give plants a boost and keep them healthy. Make sure to use the right food, almost all natives dislike soils and fertilisers with high phosphorus levels, fertilisers with a Phosphorus (P) level of 3% or less is ideal. Only use fertilisers especially made for these plants, look for a feed which reads “Australian Native Fertiliser”.
