Plant Search provides access to information on plants in the PlantFile database


Welcome to Shellharbour City Council’s Native Plant Gallery.

Need help deciding what to plant in your garden? Why not try a native plant!

Native Plants
Plants included are native plants recommended for use in the Shellharbour LGA. Planting native species on your property will maximise plant survival, attract native wildlife, require low water usage and help maintain biodiversity throughout the Shellharbour LGA.

Invasive Plants
Shellharbour City LGA has eight endangered ecological communities and to help preserve these sensitive areas we have included plants that are considered invasive in the Shellharbour LGA, the use of these plants within the LGA is discouraged.

We hope you find this resource useful in selecting native plants for your home garden, community projects and developments of all types. If you require any further assistance in additional information contact Council’s Landscape Technical Officer 4221 6111 or Council’s Wholesale Nursery 4221 6191.
