Plant Research

Apart from maintaining our current collection of plants, we also spent a large amount of our time researching on new plants and trialing them at our nursery in NSW. It is very important to ensure that all plants we grow are correctly identified. Trading of misidentified plants through the horticultural industry could lead to the spread of potential weeds or further spread of unwanted plants sold under the wrong name. From time to time, we will post brief details of our research here on this page.

Current research is on:

Miscanthus capensis (Daba Grass) - This is one of two species from the genus Miscanthus that will grow in permanently wet locations. It's natural distribution range is southern parts of Africa. A very distinctive species with features such as hairy leaf blades and hairy leaf ligules. Unfortunately, like some other plant species, mis-identified plants are often sold under this plant name. Uncommon.

Other new plants undergoing trial will be listed here soon.....
