A grafted plant combines the best characteristics of the rootstock and the grafted plant material (Scion). Rootstocks are generally selected for their vigour, disease resistance and tolerance of a wide variety of soils. Particular plant characteristics eg. specific colours of Flower gum (C.Ficifolia).

Another important breakthrough is the capacity to graft dwarf selections. eg. dwarf Flowering Gum.

Grafting allows many difficult to cultivate Western Australian varieties, to be grown in the Eastern states of Australia on hardy root stocks. eg The Qualup Bell (Pimealea Physodes displayed in the picture below)

We grow a huge collection of Proteaceae, including Grevillea, Dryandra, Banksia, Isopogon and Hakea. Not only do the banksias attract native birds but also visitors with cameras - they are probably the most pointed at and photographed plants in the garden. Other genera represented in the garden include Lechenaultia, Chamelaucium, Eremophila, Anigozanthos, Conostylis and Scholtzia.
