Wildflower Seed - Australian Grass Tree

Wildflower Seed Australian Grass Tree is a classic Australian native found in many parts of the country. Forming large, black trunks over many years the plants, Australian Grass Trees are extremely hardy and tolerate drought, fire, cold and heat. The plants are best left undisturbed once established but can be successfully raised for container gardens provided good drainage and low-nutrient potting mix is used.

We recommend the use of Wildflower Seed Starter Granules for improved germination rates and speed. These granules provide chemicals normally found in bushfire smoke that stimulate native seed germination.
