The annual plant sale at Kings Park botanical gardens is a ripper for hard to get gems. You need to get there early everything goes in a flash. |
I would say natives are not my usual preference, the ones I do like are typically softer, less "native" looking.
Correa, Thryptomene, Agonis, Scaevola, Grevillea Mt. Tamboritha and Lady O, Tristaniopsis luscious and Philotheca are plants that can be blended into either native and non-native gardens.
The Adenanthos is an interesting one. Typically, they require very well drained soil and resent wet feet, to the point where we need to be mindful of how much water they receive via hand or automated watering. The southern and surrounding areas of my town have thick, sticky clay soils, not ideal for Adenanthos, meaning some will struggle to grown them.
