Hortiforum

Success with Plants & Plant Images:
This website serves as a general reference for plants. While efforts are made to provide accurate information, Hortiforum does not accept responsibility for the suitability or performance of listed plants in specific locations. Variations in climate, soil, and growing conditions may impact plant characteristics. Climate suitability is noted for each plant, emphasizing the importance of choosing plants suited to one’s climate. The provided information and images might not entirely align with performance in individual’s climates or conditions. Hortiforum is keenly interested in learning from visitor’s personal experiences, where they may suggest that suggested conditions require revision.
Although we attempt to provide a realistic image of listed plants, our images serve as a general reference and various factors like climate and natural diversity can influence the exact look of each plant type.

Linked Information & Websites:
This site offers links to other websites. Visitors must independently assess the accuracy and reliability of the information on these external sites as they are beyond the control of Hortiforum. While efforts are made to maintain and update links, changes made by these external sites may not always be accurately or in a timely manner reflected. Hortiforum will attempt to align with these changes as quickly as possible and encourages users or linked websites to notify any changes for prompt updating and reflection.
At present, Hortiforum isn’t affiliated with any online nurseries listed. Its goal is to help consumers identify suitable plants for their needs and conditions, then guide them to online nurseries selling those plants. Hortiforum aims to accurately showcase products from online nurseries in Australia and is open to promptly addressing any inaccuracies if notified.

Weed Risk:
Before purchasing plants based on their climate suitability, we urge you to verify if they pose a weed risk. This spans from Class 1 (potential future risks) to Class 5 (high risk). As a preliminary resource—though not exhaustive for all Australian suburbs—refer to the Australian government’s Weeds Australia Website. Further reference to state or local authorities is highly recommended where possible. Please refer to State Websites below:
