Horizon Power :: Exotic Plants

There is an extraordinary range of plants available in Australia from around the world. However, these introduced plants may have special requirements to grow and look their best.

It is therefore important to plan your selection for the particular location you have in mind. Many require more water or more fertiliser than Australian natives to look their best. However, if you choose wisely and look after them well, your efforts will be greatly rewarded.

Please talk to your local nursery to get the best advice regarding your selection.
