Indigenous Plant Database

The indigenous and native plant database behind the City of Greater Geelong Indigenous Plant Selector. Covers 295 species, each with botanical and common names, plant type (tree, shrub, herb, graminoid, climber), mature height and width, and a plain-language description. Records which of Geelong's 21 indigenous plant zones each species belongs to, its wildlife and habitat value (bird, insect, frog and reptile attracting, marsupial and mammal habitat, wildflowers), and its growing characteristics (wetland plants, salt tolerance, shade tolerance). Also records suitability for nature strip planting zones and other planting locations, availability at each local indigenous plant nursery including species supplied by special order, and a photograph with its photographer credit and licence where one is available.
