About Us
Southern Plants™ (SAP) is one of the largest wholesale production nurseries in Australia.
We grow outstanding retail quality flower plants, shrubs, grasses and succulents in pot sizes of 140mm, 180mm and 200mm pots. We have a strong emphasis in growing Native Australian plants and Drought Tolerant Hardy plants.
SAP has been around for more than 75 years. The nursery now, situated on 92 acres (38 hectares), was established at Nepean Highway, Dromana in September 1986. Southern Plants™ originally started as Instant Gardens Nursery and was as a division of Gardenworld in Springvale Road, Keysborough.
Formally known as Southern Advanced Plants, we changed our name in 2021 to better reflect the assortment of plants we grow, as well as unify our well known ranges of plants under one brand.

A lot of times, once a plant is properly established it will grow and thrive with minimum watering and little maintenance. But you must get them there first!
