Research and Development
One of our main objectives at Australis Plants is the development and introduction of 'new' Australian native species that have exceptional ornamental potentional but remain uncommercialised.
Our research team lead by Dr Greg O'Sullivan is primarily focused on improving the adaptibilty, disease resistance and performace of Western Australian native species through grafting onto hardy eastern Australian rootstocks, as well as, developing propagation techniques to improve the strike rate of difficult to propagate native species. Australian native species currently grafted in the nursery include Grevillea, Brachychiton, Chamelaucium, Boronia, Pimelea, Prostanthera and Eremophila.
Queensland also has a natural resource of spectacular flowering tropical/subtropical grevillea species and hybrids that is yet to be fully exploited.
Australis Plants provide a commercial research/propagation service to the nursery industry and welcomes your enquiries regarding new lines or difficult species that require development.
Marketing
As well as undertaking our own plant breeding, Australis Plants works with a network of plant breeders and nurseries throughout Australia to introduce unique new cultivars into commercial production.
Plant labels, promotional material and grower information is available to nurseries interested in growing our new plant lines. Plant labels for exclusive lines are supplied with the plants at the time of sale. Some labels, however, can be purchased independantly for nurseries who wish to undertake their own propagation.

Australian native plants can be used in a myriad of ways in commercial landscaping and home gardens. For some innovative landscaping ideas you can view photos of plants in situ on our landscape and garden page.
