Backyard Plants

At Plants for Spaces, we find that the backyard is often the most neglected outdoor area in the home. Landscaping is rarely included in new home packages, and people are often content to decorate their front yard, put up a deck at the side of the house, and neglect the rest.

We’re here to tell you that creating a back garden that’s beautiful, practical, and easy to care for is simpler than ever before. Simply explore our range of plants for backyards and get inspired to create the garden of your dreams.

If you’re looking for further inspiration, explore our plant packages, which include everything you need to create a native, modern, tropical, coastal, or formal garden.

Plants for Spaces is a specialist online retailer offering delivery across Metro Melbourne. We use experienced plant carriers rather than general delivery partners to ensure your backyard plants and trees reach you in perfect condition.

Best Plants for Backyards in Melbourne

No matter what your vision is for your backyard, we have the plants and trees to match. Some of the best plants for the backyard are feature trees. You can set the scene with an Acacia Golden Wattle, a Weeping Japanese Maple, or an eye-catching Crepe Myrtle. Plants for Spaces offers a wide range of native, evergreen, deciduous, flowering, and palm feature trees.

If your dream is to have an edible garden, consider planting an apricot tree, a lemon tree, an olive tree, or a mandarin tree in your backyard. Plants for Spaces also offers a range of herbs, including rosemary shrubs and bay trees. These are just a few of the edible plants and trees in our range.

There are many other plants, shrubs, grasses, climbers, pot plants, and groundcovers to choose from. If you’re looking for plants specifically for new homes, you can select your estate and shop online for plants that fit within the relevant planning guidelines.

Privacy Trees for Your Backyard

Privacy is one of the many benefits offered by a full and vibrant backyard. Feature trees often make excellent privacy trees for the backyard because many of them grow tall and wide to block the view of your neighbours. We also offer a range of hedging and screening options, including plants for tall hedges. The Lilly Pilly is one of the best-known options for creating tall hedges that serve as the perfect privacy trees for the backyard.
