Western Australia is renowned for its rich and diverse flora, with more than 16,000 plant and fungi taxa found in the state. The south‑west region is recognised globally as a biodiversity hotspot, but with over 430 threatened plant species and more than 100 threatened ecological communities, the need for meaningful conservation action has never been greater.

Rare Wonders represents Kings Park’s commitment to conservation horticulture, focusing on the cultivation and care of endangered, rare and threatened species. Each plant species in the range has been chosen for its resilience in cultivation, outstanding ornamental beauty and positive environmental benefits providing habitat and food for a variety of urban fauna including beneficial insects and native birds, making them an excellent choice for wildlife friendly gardens. Once established these plants will not require extensive fertilization or watering.  

By planting a Rare Wonder at home, you’re helping safeguard these extraordinary species - adding something truly special to your garden while supporting the future of Western Australia’s unique biodiversity.
