Collection: Autumn Plants

Autumn is Sydney's second best planting season — and often better than spring for trees and shrubs. As the heat eases and the soil retains warmth, plants put energy into root establishment rather than fighting summer stress. Our autumn plants collection is timed to this window, bringing together the varieties that benefit most from autumn planting in Sydney's climate.

Deciduous trees planted in autumn establish over winter and emerge strongly in spring — Japanese Maples, Liquidambars, and ornamental pears are all ideal for autumn planting and deliver spectacular autumn colour before they drop their leaves. Cool-season perennials and flowering annuals — Pansies, Cyclamen, Snapdragons, and Dianthus — fill Sydney gardens with colour through the autumn and winter months when little else flowers. Bulbs planted now (Tulips, Jonquils, Daffodils) deliver late winter and spring blooms on schedule.

Every plant in this collection has been selected for autumn planting success in Sydney's specific climate — mild winters with occasional frosts in the Hills District and western suburbs, and a long cool season that suits a wider range of cool-climate varieties than most Sydney gardeners realise. Delivered from $9.99 across Australia.
