How to Purchase Mature Native Australian Plants

Native Australian plants vary from flowers to shrubs, growing in a variety of different environments throughout Australia. Purchasing mature plants is possible through nurseries who raise the plants until they mature for sale. However, you should note that purchasing mature plants is more expensive than purchasing regular seeds. Since the plants are matured, you may visit local nurseries that specialize in Australian horticulture or that sell native plants from Australia.
