Golden birch (Betula alleghaniensis) and Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). Always among of the first things to colour up for us in autumn, this power couple never fails to put on a show. If you’re chasing autumn colour, the next few weeks are going to be spectacular here at Wychwood. #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #eryngium #birch #betulaalleghaniensis #virginiacreeper #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #autumn #autumnleaves #autumnvibes #autumn🍁 #fallcolors #fall #🍁🍂 #autumn🍂
Eryngium bourgatii ‘Picos Blue’ is now available from our online store. A brilliant cultivar selected for its particularly vibrant blue flowers, it’s a substantial improvement on the seed-raised forms. It’s drought tolerant and exceptional for both the flowers and the foliage. #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #eryngium #seaholly #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia
My absolute favourite ornamental grass is now available from our online store: Ampelodesmos mauritanicus. Extraordinary stately, breezy and so easy. This one is seldom, if ever, offered online in Australia; get ‘em while you can! #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #ornamentalgrass #ampelodesmos #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia
The magnificently oddball Actaea, aka doll’s eyes, at its early autumn best. 👀 #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #actaea #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia
The nursery and gardens are now open again, with the very first signs of autumn starting to come through! But, if you can’t make it out, here are a bunch of Hostas we’ve just made available on our online store, some of which are very rarely offered in Australia! 😍 #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #hosta #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia
A host of new (and restocked) items are now available from our online store. Here’s a selection: Aronia melanocarpa, Allium farreri, Fritillaria meleagris, Thalictrum delavayi ‘Album’ and Aralia racemosa. 👍 #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia
Looking forward to Sheffield Flower Fest this weekend; the weather forecast is perfect (🤞). We’ll be there selling plants, so come say “hi”. #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #sheffieldtasmania #kentishgardenclub
The magnificent California tree poppy (Romneya coulteri) channeling its inner Marilyn Monroe on a subway grate! For anyone planning a visit: the gardens will be closed for the month of February before reopening on March 1st. #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #romneya #romneyacoulteri #californiatreepoppy
Wishing everyone a happy Christmas, whatever that looks like in your neck of the woods.🎄 #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #wreath #wreathmaking #wreaths
The striking violet blue flowers of Platycodon grandiflorus ‘Astra Double’ in the stock nursery today. Always the first cultivar of our balloon flowers to open, the ‘Astra’ series are a group of more vigorous and floriferous forms of this wonderful Campanula relative, who gets its common name from the appearance of their swollen buds (see pic 2) 💙 #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #platycodon #balloonflower
We’re open as normal through the Christmas / New Year period this year: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10am-4pm. We hope everyone has a nice, relaxing break coming up… or at least a break from hearing All I Want For Christmas Is You 7,000 times a day! 😆 #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #weldeniacandida #weldenia
A future release: Hosta ‘Kiwi Full Monty’, a grey-leaved sport of the much-loved Hosta ‘Striptease’. Forms a dense, low and wide mound of dramatically patterned leaves, which are more sun tolerant than most grey-leaved Hostas. Another brilliant Hosta from NZ’s Barry Sligh. #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #hosta #plantainlily #kiwifullmonty
Arguably the best of the variegated hellebores: H. argutifolius ‘Pacific Frost’. It’s now available from our online store. Like all hellebores with a stem (caulescent) this one needs a bit more sun than those without. #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #pacificfrost #hellebore #variegation
The outrageously furry new foliage of showy milkweed (Asclepias speciosa), which we’ve been trialling in the gardens. It’s about to flower for us for the first time, which is always a buzz, but I’d grow it for the foliage alone. Such a wonderful genus. #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #spring #asclepiasspeciosa #asclepias #milkweed
Astrantia major, or Hattie’s pincushion, looking great in the garden now. It’s easy to grow, wonderful as a cut flower, and gets mobbed by almost every pollinating insect around. #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #spring #astrantia #astrantiamajor
Erythronium tuolumnense is like a glowing beacon when it flowers in late August - and a very welcome pop of colour! It’s a good and fast multiplier, too - and is available now from our online store. 💛 #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #spring #erythronium
The totally perfect Anemone ‘Bracteata’, now back in stock at our online store. This unusual double white form was discovered in woodlands outside of Hamburg in Germany. Nature is always the best plant breeder. 🙌 #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #spring #anemone #anemonenemorosa #woodanemone
We’ve just made a few Frits available again from our online store, including the beautiful lime green Fritillaria pontica - one of the easiest Frits to grow in the garden. Get in quick, they won’t last long! #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #spring #fritillaria

Galanthus ‘Lady Beatrix Stanley’ is back in stock on our website. One of the earliest and most vigorous Galanthus, it forms good clumps of fully double, nodding white flowers that appear weeks ahead of other forms. #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #spring #galanthus #snowdrop
Ulmus ‘Argenteo-Variegata’ is back in stock at the nursery in Mole Creek. An extraordinary and elegant tree. It leaves a big impression on many of our visitors, generating more “ooooh, what is that plant?!” moments than almost anything else. It’s also quite fast growing! #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #treenursery #elm #ulmus #variegated
The last rogue flower of the magnificent Pulsatilla ‘Rote Glocke’. There seems to be some conjecture about the meaning of ‘Glocke’ here. Some references say the name translates to Red Clock (a spherical seed cluster can be known as a clock). Others say it is German for Red Bell, referencing the shape of the flowers, which makes more sense... Can the collective brains trust offer any insight here? #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #spring #pulsatilla

The luminous Deutzia scabra ‘Variegata’ is now available from our online store. Heavily splashed with bright white variegation and masses of fragrant white flowers in spring and summer, it’s perfect for adding vibrancy to a partly shaded spot. #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #spring #deutzia #variegatedplants
I love the two-toned green stage of Taxus x media ‘Hicksii’ at this time of year. This hybrid cross of the English and Japanese yew is a dense and naturally columnar cultivar with ascending branches. And no, it’s nowhere near as slow growing as its reputation would have you think! #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #spring #taxus #taxusxmedia #yew
Wychwood is now open for the season!

Certainly not a plant for all-seasons interest, but nothing is as eye-poppingly yellow in the garden right now as Euphorbia polychroma - they’re little domes of cheer. #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #spring #euphorbia #euphorbiapolychroma
One of the best succulents for foliage: Hylotelephium telephium subsp. ruprechtii… especially in the rare occurrence that I’m organised enough to mulch around it! #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #spring #succulents
The gorgeous spring growth of Hosta ‘Duke of Cornwall’, one of dozens of varieties of Hostas we’ll have for sale when we reopen in two weeks. #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #plantnursery #gardeningaustralia #spring #hosta
We’re excited too announce that Wychwood will be reopening on Friday the 3rd of November. We’re open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10-4 until the end of April.

The seriously vibrant Hosta ‘Kiwi Acid Yellow’ waking up. Bred by one of the all time great Hosta breeders, Barry Sligh, out of New Zealand. #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #hosta #Barrysligh #woodland #plantnursery #spring #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood
One of the world’s most magnificent woodlanders: Glaucidium palmatum. This choice seedling has a larger than normal white centre. Now I just need to pluck up the courage to plant him out! #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #glaucidiumpalmatum #woodland #plantnursery #spring #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood
Diving deeper into the realm of the late frost! It reached -2.3°c at Wychwood this morning and was 0° or lower from 0100 onwards; more than a fleeting freeze! Painful but very normal for us, we get frosts 12 months of the year. 🥶 #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #woodland #plantnursery #spring #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #gardeninglife #inmygarden #gardeningaustralia #gardensofinstagram #trädgård #tuin #紅葉 #jardin #tasmania

Tulipa batalinii ‘Bronze Charm’ sourced from the late, great Marcus Harvey (@hillviewrareplants).

The wonderful flowers of Spriaea prunifolia (bridal wreath spiraea) . Interestingly, the double white form of this plant was described by botanists before the single-petaled form, so it became the species and the single form became Spiraea prunifolia var. simpliciflora.

Last chance to grab some Anemone nemorosa ‘Robinsoniana’ before we make it unavailable again until summer. Probably the fastest growing and among the largest flowering nemorosa cultivars, ‘Robinsoniana’ forms a dense carpet of satiny, lavender flowers in spring. Perfect for around the base of a deciduous tree or shrubs. #wychwoodtasmania #wychwood #perennials #gardeningaustralia #tasmania #rareplants #anemone #anemonenemorosa #woodland #plantnursery
The incredibly useful Anemanthele lessoniana taking on its autumn tones.

New Zealand yams are back in stock at our online store! Baked, boiled, grilled, fried or even just thinly sliced and thrown onto a salad, they never disappoint… that is, unless you’re planing an NZ native garden! Just like the kiwifruit, it’s not even remotely kiwi, it actually native to the Andes in South America….
