The flowering wattles confirm that winter has come to Noosa, but otherwise there is not a lot of colour. This is when we appreciate the quieter blue Plectranthus, the Evolvulus and the Native Violet that seem to just keep flowering. A highlight has been the yellow leaves dropping from the Peanut Tree – one of our few deciduous species. Also the Hibbertia has produced the occasional flower.
Michelle from UWG visited our garden in Sunrise Beach in April 2023. (See Our Garden Visit April 2023 in UWG Newsletter) The experience was a valuable one and we continue to put into practice the lessons from that day.
Although the weather is getting cooler there are plenty of native plants in flower in the Noosa area.

Find out more about these plants and see some photos to remind you of the never-ending weeds that compete with them.
Planting local native species in our gardens doesn’t mean we can forget about their maintenance.
