Think outside the box- try using Australian natives to add a splash of colour to your garden...
A native garden need not be just green, there are many stunning and vibrant flowers produced by indigenous plants. Like ornamental and exotic species, natives have evolved to compete for the attention of pollinating insects and birds. Whilst it is quite possible to have a garden full of natives which will guarantee some flowers all year round, if you also add the various textures and tones of bark, and the different shapes and colours of foliage which are available, you can quite literally end up with a riot of colour without using a single exotic species.
