Plants of the Adelaide Coastal Regions

Maslins Beach, City of Onkaparingasource: Claire Morford-Waite 2020

The Adelaide Coast line boast spectular views and pristine beaches.

It is however, subject to harsh winds, salt spray and erosion leading to a need for plants that can handle these conditions and also support the environment through stabilisation and regeneration.

Plants of the Adelaide Plains Regions

Adelaide Plains, South Australia source: Adelaide Plains Council

Situated between the Gulf St Vincent coast to the west and the Mount Lofty Ranges to the east, the Adelaide Plains covers a large area including Adelaide City and surrounds.

As the name suggests, the area is reasonably flat and receives less rainfall than much of the hills area.

The intermediary between the coast and the hills, the plains are home to a wide selection of native plants that can be found not only in the plains but also in surrounding areas.

The plant is also susceptible to water-logging and root rot.

Quandongs are recognised as a tasty bush food and characterised by their bright red fruits. These small trees are parasitic and grow more successfully off another plant.

Plants of the Adelaide Hills Regions

Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens in Autumn source: My Open Garden

The Adelaide Hills covers a large area overlooking the Adelaide plains.

The climate of this area is varied. The Adelaide Hills are known to reach temperatures cool enough for snow in some months, while in others creating havoc with bushfires. Therefore, it is of no surprise that only about 15% of the original native vegetation of the Adelaide Hills remains and so it is important to ensure that endemic species are continued to be plants in the area.
