Plant Production

Propagation

Strict hygiene at this stage ensures customers receive top quality healthy plants. Best practice guidelines are followed to ensure strict hygiene. All propagation media is steam pasteurised to ensure no pathogens are present. Current innovations in propagation are constantly being incorporated into routine practice, such as 'smoking' of seeds. A fully operational plant tissue culture laboratory also plays a vital part in propagation - particularly in harder to grow varieties.

Plant Tissue Laboratory

The laboratory plays a vital part in the propagation of harder to grow species, and also ensure that the plants, which are produced, are of the highest quality. New introductions of native plants are made available and promoted by Lullfitz Nursery every year. The introduction of a plant tissue culture laboratory several years ago, has enabled the nursery to propagate and breed plants that were previously difficult to produce by conventional means.

Look out for newly bred varieties such as Anigozanthos ‘Gold Velvet’ PBR and Anigozanthos ‘Amber Velvet’ PBR – available soon!

New Plants

Over the years the nursery has been responsible for numerous plant introductions into cultivation. Some well-known examples of these include - Grevillea obtusifolia 'Gingin Gem' and Chamelaucium uncinatum 'Purple Pride' which have been taken up and become industry standards.

Several new varieties are currently developed, such as – Grevillea ‘Ellabella’ PBR and Adenanthos cuneata ‘Coral Carpet’ PBR.

Lullfitz Nursery will continue to select and develop the most horticulturally suitable plants from Western Australia's unique flora, in order that they can be made available to the public for their own gardens as well as public plantings.

Grafting

Lullfitz Nursery’s dedication to Western Australia’s flora has recently seen many grafted plants added into the current range. Varieties such as Pimelia physodes (Qualup Bell) and forms of Eucalyptus ficifolia (Red Flowering Gum) are now being grafted to ensure consistency of form and flower colour.
