You could simply go to your local plant nursery and choose from their stock. However, most nurseries in Perth stock only a few native plants - and many of these are not from WA and require a fair bit of water.

We have a "catch 22" situation in which they don't stock our plants because  there is little demand and so few people look for them and consequently there is indeed little demand. By all means  ask them to get in the plants you want, to convince them there is a demand.

Here is a list of nurseries in the Perth area that specialize in native plants.

• APACE COMMUNITY REVEGETATION NURSERY, 1 Johannah St N. Fremantle (specializes in plants local to the Perth area). Their "sub-site" has a soil map and the catalogue is linked to it.
