Isotoma Axillaris 'Beth's Blue'

#oznative #cottagegarden #border #longflowering I was pleased to come across this plant as it suited my interest in cottage garden plants but was even happier to discover it was an Australian native. Can anyone recommend other natives that work well in cottage gardens?

Thanks, I've updated the tag

Boronia. Chamelaucium (wax flower). Correa. Wahlenbergia. What small plants would you add? @kathyb @nej @deekay

Hardenbergia for a climber. Entwined with a rose?

Paper daisies. Brachyscome. Crowea.

Chrysocephallum, lechenaultia, fan flowers

In melbourne the Kuranga native nursery would have a good range of natives including the newer varieties. Depending which area you live in it is good to look at a display garden to see just how they grow. The Botanic gardens at Cranbourne have a lovely display.

Thanks for the tips!
