No matter your garden plan, you can find Australian native seeds that flower practically any time of year.

How to Dry Australian Native Flowers

There are a number of methods available for drying Australian native flowers. You can dry them upright in a vase by cutting the base of the stem, stripping away any low-level leaves, and placing them in a dark, well-ventilated space. If you’re concerned that your Australian native flowers might sag in a vase, you also have the option of hanging them to dry. To do this, cut the base, remove low-level leaves, and hang your flowers in a space with good airflow.

How to Grow Australian Native Wildflowers

The process of growing Australian native flowers begins with sowing. The right time to sow Australian native seeds, however, depends on the variety. We recommend consulting the instructions that come with your seeds to determine the most suitable season for planting them. As a general rule, most Australian natives do best when sown in autumn or spring, when the weather is mild.

Australian native seeds tend to be easy varieties to grow once established, simply because they are accustomed to our environment and climate. However, some have special sowing requirements to help them get started. Most seeds can be directly sown outdoors or indoors in small trays filled with quality seed-raising mix and seed starter granules. Water them gently and keep the soil moist before they germinate. Once seedlings are large enough, transplant them into their preferred position and water thoroughly.
