Beaufortia suitable for south Western Australian gardens

BEAUFORTIA

The genus Beaufortia comprises twenty-two species all of which are found in the Southwest Botanical Province of Western Australia which stretches from Shark Bay in the north to east of Esperance in the south. Most are found in sandy soils and in heath, but some also grow in wetter conditions e.g. Beaufortia sparsa.

The genus Beaufortia is named in honour of Mary, Duchess of Beaufort (1630–1714), who maintained botanical gardens at Badminton and Chelsea and had a large collection of drawings of flowers. The Beaufortia in this book are the most commonly found in nurseries and their spectacular flowers are more than enough reason to grow them in your garden.

This e-book gives you not only a list of beautiful Beaufortia for your garden but detailed information on each of the plants.
