{"title":"Horticulturalist's Picks","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith over 1,000 varieties in our range, choosing what to plant can be overwhelming. This collection removes that decision entirely. Our Horticulturalist's Picks are the plants our certified team reaches for first — varieties that have proven themselves in Sydney's specific conditions, that perform reliably across different garden types and aspects, and that consistently exceed what customers expect when they arrive and get established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn't a collection of whatever is popular on social media or currently on trend. These are the plants that our team — with over 20 years of hands-on sourcing and horticultural experience — would put in their own gardens.

Others are underrated varieties that most gardeners haven't tried yet but consistently perform better than the alternatives our team is asked to compare them with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpdated seasonally as our team reassesses what's performing best in Sydney's conditions.
