Chilli
One chilli plant supplies most households for a year, and in a frost-free garden it keeps going for three or four seasons. The second year is usually the best one.

Grass daisy
A low spreading daisy with narrow leaves and small mauve flowers. It is useful along paths, in rockeries and through the front of native beds where the soil holds some moisture.

Grevillea 'Poorinda Royal Mantle'
A large prostrate grevillea for broad banks and beds, with red toothbrush flowers and branches that can spread more than three metres. This is for serious coverage, not a small gap between perennials.

The Brancho Patch
The details gardeners learn by growing.
A plant profile can tell you the basics. Another gardener can tell you what happened in a real garden — what fruited, what failed, what handled the heat, what the birds found first.
The Brancho Patch is where gardeners add those first-hand details to plant profiles, compare notes and reply to each other. If you grow it, tell us what you’ve seen.
Why Brancho exists
Built by a gardener, from a garden full of life.
I’m Elle. I’ve gardened for around 30 years and spent around 15 years running a specialist edible and tropical nursery in Queensland.
My own garden is productive, a little chaotic and full of useful plants. Brancho grew from wanting one place for the practical things I had learned about plants, seasons, soil, wildlife and working with nature.
Grow a Little Wild
New plants to try, useful growing tips and ideas from other gardeners that you can try in your own garden. Add the plants you grow to Brancho and we'll include a few garden jobs just for you.
Brancho Pro
For a bigger garden record.
Pro adds unlimited plants, dated private plant photos, notes and history, plus a richer weekly garden email with more coming-up jobs. Free remains useful for smaller gardens.
