Shrubs over 1 m

Shrubs abound in Australia, ranging from low ground hugging ones to those up to 6 metres tall. All have multiple woody stems.

This section focuses on those in the range of 1 to 6 metres tall, which form the bulk of the mid layer of the garden. Such shrubs have multiple uses in the garden:

• Anchoring a house into the landscape
• Acting as a hedge or screen
• Screening sections of the garden to create room or  creating privacy
• As accent plants with their interesting forms
• Mass planted for high impact
• As habitat for birds, particularly small ones, and other creatures
