Count down to the Queensland Garden Show

Tickets are available online now for this years' show. See qldgardenshow.com.au

We will bring our usual favourites the Clivias in oodles of colours as well as bare-rooted bulbs that thrive in warm climates. To appeal to collectors and gardeners wanting something different we grow a selection of unusual plants that perform well but are lesser known. I'm certain that we will have several that you've not have seen for sale elsewhere. You can be sure that they're propagated and grown in SE Queensland and have been tested in our own garden.

We try to keep our prices fair and also to make a few under priced expo specials to reward customers for visiting our area at the show. One of our expo specials this year will be huge beach spider lily bulbs (hymenocallis sp.), but whereas in Brisbane the cultivars with narrow leaves are very common, ours produces lush broad leaves that are effortlessly attractive.

For people who adore the look of the huge elephant ear plants, we will have a few different varieties to choose from - we've narrowed our range of these down to just 3 varieties based on which performed best for us in our home garden. We know that our customers want plants that thrive in our climate, not just plants that tolerate it.

Scadoxus pole-evansii - native to Zimbabwe. Grown by Golden Valley Nursery near Brisbane.
