Best place to find Australian plants in San Diego Area

10 years ago

I'm heading to San Diego this weekend for a conference and have set aside some time to do some nursery hopping to pick up some grevilleas and other Australian plants to bring back to Florida. I'm looking for some insight on the best nurseries to visit for Australian plants.

Thanks!

You should be able to find them at most nurseries. The big box stores typically carry a selection of Australian plants (Grevillea Noelli, Grevillea Red Hooks, Callistemon "Little John," Callistemon citrinus, Eremophila... etc)

If you want a wider and more specific selection, you'll have to find a specialty nursery, which I'm sure there are plenty of in the area. I live in Northern California and we have a large selection of Hakeas, Grevilleas, Corymbia, Eucalyptus, Doryanthes and many, many more at select nurseries. Southern California will have even more availability I'm sure. I know Australian Native Nursery in Ventura specializes in Australian plants but it is too far away for you unless you'll have an entire day to spare.

Good luck! Welcome to the Golden State!
