Rainforest Native Plants

Discover rainforest native plants for Gold Coast gardens and restoration projects.

Browse rainforest-associated trees, shrubs, climbers and ground-layer plants indigenous to South East Queensland. Locally native rainforest species can help create layered habitat and provide food and shelter for wildlife when planted in suitable conditions.

Rainforest plants vary greatly in mature size, light requirements and moisture needs. Check individual product information before selecting plants, especially for smaller suburban gardens.
