The nursery stocks a unique range of quality plants for all gardens – each season sees a new range of colours and inspirations in the nursery. Tilba Nursery is particularly renowned for its range of cottage and perennial plants – including many rare and seldom grown varieties. This range of quality of plants, sourced from the best specialist growers, sees cottage garden enthusiasts from all parts of NSW (and even interstate) regularly visiting to track down plants simply not available anywhere else.

Autumn colour in the nursery this week includes windflowers starting to flower in our perennial collection - ‘Fantasy Belle’ is the first one out. Our autumn opening hours are 9am to 2pm, Wednesday to Sunday in Tilba Tilba. #inthenursery #autumn #windflowers #anemones #perennials #inthenursery
Geranium pratense ‘Black and White’ flowering in the nursery this weekend. Delicate pale flowers and attractive dark foliage make this hardy perennial a great addition to the autumn garden. #perennials #autumn #geraniums #inthenursery
Hakea ‘Burrendong Beauty’ is a beautiful low-growing native shrub with a stunning display of red/pink and white flowers in winter. Does well in a full sun position with well drained soil in SE NSW. A great option for a feature rockery plant - we have limited numbers still available this week in the nursery. #inthenursery #nativeplants #hakeas #autumn
We have two grafted hakea species in stock this week - including the very showy Hakea francisiana ‘Intensity’ This is a medium to large shrub (up to 4m but can be lightly pruned to size) featuring large sprays or red/pink flowers well displayed in winter to spring. We also have the similar Hakea bucculenta with red flowers in stock.

In the past these showy WA hakeas have proven difficult to keep alive for extended periods in the humid summers of eastern Australia. However in recent years grafted plants have appeared on the market with much hardier rootstock - allowing these spectacular plants to do well in a wider range of conditions. These grafted hakeas are hardy in both coastal conditions ((image here is a garden plant growing near Corunna) and Canberra winters. #inthenursery #nativeplants #autumn #hakeas
Agastache ‘Pink Fortune’ flowering in the nursery this weekend. #inthenursery #perennials #agastache #autumn #cottagegarden #gardening
The stunning autumn foliage of Euonymus alatus - it’s starting to feel just a little more like autumn in the nursery this week with splashes of rich seasonal colours on display in our perennial and native plant collections. Our autumn opening hours are 9am to 2pm, Wednesday to Sunday in Tilba Tilba. #autumn  #inthenursery
Banksia blechnifolias are back in stock this week. These amazing ground-cover banksias from WA feature striking foliage and unusual flowers and are one of the hardiest WA banksias in the east. They do well locally - particularly in full-sun rockeries or raised beds with excellent drainage. #inthenursery #nativeplants #banksias #autumn #banksia #gardening #rockeryplants

Apart from cottage plants and perennials the nursery also carries an extensive range of Australian natives (many unusual or rare), cacti and succulents, citrus, berries and unusual food plants, roses (old fashioned, modern and species), rare and interesting exotics – plus seasonal vegetable seedlings and herbs. We now also carry a range of indoor plants.
