Instant garden!!

Once again, a big thank you to Marvin and Karli at Platypus Plants!!. We were shocked and delighted when Marvin unloaded our 10 Lilly Pilly ‘’Resilience’ (Syzygium australe) plants.
The plants were stunning! Healthy and lush!
We highly recommend Platypus Plants for bushy, healthy plants, along with their prompt and friendly delivery. All at an affordable price….

Pink Callistemon Eureka

I bought 6 lovely pink Callistemon Eureka plants in 200mm pots! They stand at about half the height of our fence, and I couldn't be more excited. The delivery was super quick, and I planted them along the fenceline for a bit of privacy and a cheerful splash of color.

It’s been just 2.5 weeks, and I’m thrilled to see that they’re growing nicely! The tips are a fresh light green, and some even have cute soft pink leaves popping up at the top. I’m really happy with how beautiful and healthy these plants are turning out!

Beautiful and healthy plants - Photinia fraserii Red Robin

I purchased several Photinia Fraserii Red Robin plants and was impressed by their health and height. I also appreciated the helpful care card that provided guidance on planting and maintaining the plants. Marvin was great at answering my questions about how to space the hedge properly.
Two weeks later, my plants are thriving. I'm very happy to support your local business and will purchase from you again in the future.

Beautiful

Service and delivery were great. The two magnolia little gems I purchased are just beautiful. Mature and lush. I was lucky enough to have a bud in each as well which have started to flower. Marvin and Karli were lovely and super helpful and took the time to answer questions about my garden when they delivered my trees. I highly recommend Platypus Plants.
