Collection: Australian Native Fertilisers

AUSTRALIAN NATIVE FERTILISER

Feeding Australian native plants requires a different approach to conventional gardening. Most natives evolved in nutrient-poor soils and are highly sensitive to phosphorus, a key ingredient in standard fertilisers that can damage or kill native plants when applied at typical rates.

Australian made

Our fertiliser is Australian made and formulated with Australian soils, climates and native plant families in mind. Whether you are establishing new plantings, feeding an established native garden or supporting plants through seasonal stress, the right fertiliser can make all the difference.

Why native plants need specialist fertiliser

Plants from phosphorus-sensitive families including banksias, grevilleas, waratahs and hakeas absorb phosphorus differently to exotic garden plants. Standard fertilisers applied at normal rates can cause rapid, irreversible root damage in these species. A fertiliser formulated for natives delivers the nutrients they actually need, in concentrations they can tolerate, supporting steady growth and strong flowering without the risk.

Balanced nutrition, low in phosphorus

A composted natural base delivers both an immediate and slow-release nutrient source, feeding plants consistently over time rather than providing a single flush that can stress or damage roots. Sulphate of potash supports consistent flowering, while natural inputs such as kelp and zeolite contribute to long-term soil health without synthetic additives.

Especially suitable for soils high in phosphorus

Many Australian garden soils, particularly in established gardens that have been fertilised with conventional products over the years carry a phosphorus load that is already too high for sensitive native species. A native-specific fertiliser with a low phosphorus formulation is the right choice for these conditions and will not add to an existing problem in the soil.

Supporting healthy natives year round

The right fertiliser encourages deep root development, abundant flowering and the kind of long-term resilience that helps native plants handle drought, heat and the challenging soil conditions common across Australia. Applied correctly and at the right time of year, a good native fertiliser makes a visible difference to plant health and vigour.
