No matter where you live in Northern Territory, hardy plants that last all year round will add a touch of flare to your garden. The problem is, not all plants can cope with the varying climates found in Northern Territory gardens.
There are plenty of old favourites, but if you want a garden that stands out from the rest, Houspect has recommendations on the best hardy plants for you. These plants are not only hardy, they will paint your garden in wonderful colours from spring to winter.
It is important to keep in mind that plants need proper care, even when they are hardy plants that last all year round. Always buy your seeds and plants from a reputable supplier, and make sure they are cared for and nurtured for the best results.
Coneflower
They may not look very resilient, but this hardy little flower can withstand the worst the tropics have to offer, and looks good doing it, too. Ideal for interspersing among the other plants in your garden, coneflowers can add some much needed colour to a garden when other plants begin to wilt.
When purchasing coneflower plants, it is important to ask about the specific type of flower you are buying. Each variation of coneflower is unique, so the hardiness of your plants will also vary.
Barrenwort
