Our arid lands are home to thousands of highly evolved plant communities that are specially adapted to thrive in an environment where temperatures are extreme and drought can last for decades. Australias arid zone ecosystems are fragile and complex and they are found nowhere else on earth.
We consider 'Arid' to be areas of average rainfall of 300mm per year (or less). Our plant collection is formed around this average rainfall maximum
