About

Red is the most powerful colour in the garden. It advances visually — appearing closer than it is — and commands attention from across the greatest distance of any colour in the spectrum. A single red-flowering plant positioned correctly can anchor an entire garden design, draw the eye to a focal point, or energise a border that reads as dull and flat in its absence. There is also a practical dimension to red flowering plants that goes beyond aesthetics: in the Australian garden, red flowers are among the most effective attractors of native birds, particularly honeyeaters, rosellas, and lorikeets, whose vision is highly tuned to the red-orange spectrum. Australia's native plant palette is extraordinarily rich in red: from the fiery summer display of the Corymbia ficifolia Red Flowering Gum — one of the most spectacular flowering trees in the world — through the year-round tubular red flowers of Grevillea, the iconic brush-like red of Callistemon bottlebrush, the extraordinary red flower head of the Waratah (Australia's most recognised native flower), and the vividly coloured claw-like flowers of Kangaroo Paw. Beyond the natives, this collection also includes classic red roses, striking red salvias, winter-flowering Kniphofia (Red Hot Poker), and red forms of Osteospermum — giving Australian gardeners a red flower for every season, every climate zone, and every garden scale. At Online Plants, our red flowering collection of 25 plants has been assembled by our horticultural team to cover the full spectrum of red-flowering possibilities for Australian gardens — from small pot-suitable perennials through to large feature trees, from tender summer daisies to hardy winter-blooming natives.
