Palms for Brisbane tucked away on Lytton Road in Morningside and if you are looking to create a lush sub-tropical style garden that is perfectly suited to our climate, then a visit to this place is a must.

When it comes to palms and cycads, they have one of the largest selections you will find with hundred?s of different varieties from all over the world, including dry land tropical species and in a great range of sizes from small pots right up to super advanced specimens. Perfect for when you need to create an instant established look.

It is not only palms though. They travel far and wide to source the very best in colourful foliage plants. There is a terrific range of bamboos too and a superb selection of bromeliads and potted plants ready to decorate your home inside and out. If you are a real plant lover, there is always something new and interesting to discover.

The Licuala ramsayi or the Australian Fan Palm isn?t often seen in South East Queensland. It is the symbol of the Daintree rainforest in North Queensland and it really makes a statement wherever it is planted.

One of a range of sensational new hybrid bromeliads is called ?Enchantment? (Neoregelia, Hybrid Cultivar ?Enchantment?) just another example of some the rare plants you will find.

The Balinese sculptures and accessories are all hand crafted. One or two set amongst tropical foliage gives a garden a finishing touch.

If you are looking for something special, you can save yourself a lot of time by going on to the Palms for Brisbane website. If it is not there, they will find it for you and deliver it to you wherever you live in Queensland. While you are online, you can join their Viva Tropica Club to receive quarterly newsletters that feature lots of inspirational ideas on what you can do in your subtropical garden.
