Australian Grass Tree Flowers are a classic native, and now you can grow your own with Mr Fothergill’s seeds. Commonly known as Grasstrees or Balga Grass, it forms large, black trunks over many years. The flower seeds are hardy and tolerate drought, fire, cold, and heat—as you might expect from an Australian native. They are best left undisturbed once established but can be successfully raised for container gardens provided good drainage, and a low-nutrient potting mix is used.

We recommend the use of Fothergill's Smoke Water for improved germination rates and speed. Smoke Water is a natural seed germination stimulant formulated with smoke-derived compounds known as karrikins, which are proven to trigger germination in many plant species particularly Australian natives. Explore Mr Fothergill’s Australian native seeds to fill your garden with hardy, beautiful native plants, or pair with our ranunculus corms, seeds to plant in winter, and marigold seeds for even more colour.
