Dear customer, This nursery was opened in September 1990 to propagate and supply Tasmanian native plants to the public. We have a large range and diversity of plants available, from tube size to advanced. We stock plants from diverse Tasmanian habitats, from coastal to rainforest to alpine.

We have plants suitable for rockeries, hedges, ferneries, casual and formal gardens, windbreaks and ponds. Many Tasmanian species make ideal container plants, even bonsai. Our aim is to produce high quality, healthy and hardy plants. The landscaped gardens feature many of our plants.

INTERSTATE SALES There are no permits required or restrictions on taking plants to the eastern states, but some apply to W.A. & S.A. Plants can be packed and posted to your door. We can send up to 8 square tubes, or 6 round tubes for $25, packaging and freight. (Or 16 square tubes, or 12 round tubes for $50 etc.) This is a next day delivery to major centres. We can quote to send larger pots, but this can be quite expensive. Please nominate substitutes when ordering, or first confirm plant’s availability.

ELSEWHERE IN TASMANIA Most of Tasmania is covered by bus. A box of plants freighted to your door, or nearest depot costs $12.95. (Note: minimum order is $20 worth of plants)

GARDEN DESIGN SERVICE We can provide a garden design service that can include some or all of selection of plants, detailed design, ground preparation, plant placement, and finally planting. Contact the nursery for more details.

PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

The prices quoted are for tubestock (50 mm forestry tube or 75 mm round tube) and for plants in 140 mm pots. While tubestock is generally available for all species with the exception of one or two, fewer species are typically available in 140 mm pots. Prices are given for 140 mm pots, but we cannot guarantee supply. Stock of all species and sizes are typically lowest in late spring, and highest in autumn. The price reflects both the difficulty of propagation and the time taken for tubestock to grow on to larger sizes.

PAYMENT We have Visa, Mastercard, Bankcard, EFTPOS and PAYPAL facilities, or send a cheque or money order. You can also transfer funds to our bank account – contact the nursery for details. Please feel free to phone or fax to confirm availability if ordering, or maybe nominate substitutes.

WEBSITE We are on the internet at www.potn.com.au. Our web pages have up-to-date plant lists, including many thematic lists such as edible plants, and links to photos and other information about many species. You can contact us by email at [email protected], and we are also on Facebook – search for Plants of Tasmania.

CULTURAL NOTES As with most nurseries, our plants are potted in well drained potting mixes and require regular watering until planted. In warmer weather this means watering every day or second day, with enough water to soak the entire root-ball. Check the top centimetre with your finger, if in doubt.

Planting Best results will be achieved from a well cultivated soil. Compost is recommended for difficult soils, such as clay or sand, and it is often beneficial to mix some potting mix with the soil immediately around the plant in those soils. (We sell our own home-made potting mix - 20 litres for $7.50)

Tease out roots gently, but only on plants with a tight root-ball (Do not disturb more than 10% of the roots. Mound up beds slightly if there is a danger of water-logging (or plant water-loving species). In dry or sandy soils it is preferable to plant in a slight dip, about the size of a saucer is usually sufficient. In most cases, the better the soil is prepared, the better the plants will fare.

Fertilising Indigenous plants are generally adapted to low nutrient soils with a low phosphorus content. After a dash of nutrient to get them off and running when planting, most require no further fertilizing. If you wish to use fertiliser, use a dash of native Osmocote under the mulch or in the soil around the plant, a skerrick of blood 'n bone, or a whisker (like a handful or two) of well rotted manure (not chook), or even a handful or two of worm castings. With any of these, mix well in the soil just around the plant when planting. Note: if using our potting mix to mix in with the soil, it’s already fertilized, so you will not require extra nutrients.

Watering Once the plant is in the ground, it will take a while for the roots to grow out from their pot shaped root-ball, so for the first 4 - 6 weeks water just enough to keep the root-ball moist: usually twice a week - more often in warm windy weather, less in cool times. (Note: Frequency of watering also depends on how big the plant is in the pot at time of planting). Once established, a plant well chosen for the site, may never need watering again, or just every two to four weeks in a particularly dry spell. When watering established plants, give a good deep soak infrequently, say once a month, rather than short frequent sprinkles. Of course if you get a good rain during that month, forget the watering.

Pot Plants Many of our Tasmanian plants are well suited to growing in containers. Some in fact are more reliable in pots. (Check the pot suitability ratings after each plant in the catalogue) We have potting mix for sale which is ideal for this use.($7.50 for 20 litres) When potting into larger pots

you can mix in some of your best, well broken down compost - say 20% - or even a dash of good friable garden loam, mixed in - no more than 10%. If a plant is not being potted on every 6 - 12 months, you will need to add nutrients - native osmocote is good (just under the surface) or dilute liquid feeds of aquasol or maxicrop every month or so. Alternatively, some other slow release, organic fertilizer as mulch, would be suitable. Pruning A much neglected custom. Regular trimming results in a bushy plant. Just after flowering is recommended. Please ask if you are unsure how, or when.

GARDEN HARDINESS AND POT SUITABILITY RATINGS After many of the plants listed, there will appear the letter G, and the letter P. The letter G , stands for garden hardiness, and the letter P, for suitability as a pot plant. Each of these letters will be followed by numbers, ranging from 1 to 10.

High numbers for G (ie. garden) indicate a plant that we consider to be hardy and reliable when planted in a suitable position, low numbers indicate a plant that may be less reliable, may need extra care in positioning, or in other words, be a bit of a challenge. A rating with a wide middle spread, eg.G 3-7 indicates either a plant that performs well in some gardens but not in others, or one that we don’t yet have an extensive knowledge of, as a garden plant.

The rating with regard to pot culture, P, relates more to how easily one can present the plant in the pot, over a period of time. It takes into account how much effort and care is required to have the plant looking good. A high maintenance plant, requiring regular trimming, fertilizing or repotting , will not score as highly as one which presents nicely without much attention. For example, a plant that will survive well in a pot , but quickly look straggly, will incur a lower rating.

Example - The Pandani, Richea pandanifolia is not so easy to grow in the garden, requiring a well composted, well drained, moist and cool position. I would suggest a garden hardiness rating of G 2- 6. However we have found it to be very reliable in a pot, even withstanding considerable drying out, and not requiring much attention, so its pot suitability rating could be P 6-9.

NEWSLETTER You are welcome to place your name on our Newsletter mailing list. Each spring and autumn we send out a newsletter, helping to keep you up to date with Tasmanian plant news, new plants and developments at the nursery plus any specials we might have available. The newsletters and other news will also be available on the website (www.potn.com.au).

WATER PLANTS - FOR PONDS AND BOG GARDENS In the garden, ponds are usually an artificial introduction, and the surrounding garden may not be moist, so plants around the pond should be chosen to suit. Rushy plants will provide habitat for frogs and other pond-loving fauna. Good tufties for moist to wet areas include Baloskion australe, Baloskion tetraphyllus, Juncus pallidus, Gahnia grandis, Carex fascicularis and Button Grass.

There are many groundcovers well suited to plant amongst the tufties. eg. Dichondra repens, Hydrocotyle, Lobelia alata, Neopaxia australasica, Rubus gunnianus, Scaevola hookeri, Selliera radicans, Veronica calycina and Viola hederacea, are all good at taking over the spaces in moist areas. Quite a few shrubs and trees will also grow in wet areas. And for ponds in moist shady corners, don't forget ferns. The following can be used in your pond:
