  • Swan River Daisies are indigenous to central Australia. They prefer light to medium soil in a sunny area yet can tolerate shade. They are a very hardy, annual (perennial) flowering plant, frost and drought resistant, and will grow to a height of 0.2m and spread to 0.3m. Their flowers bloom in white, blue, or pink.

  • Bees are an important part of our everyday life. They produce delicious honey for our pleasure that hosts antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities, and they pollinate approximately 30% of our food crops and 90% of our wild plants.

    Bees play a vital role in preserving biodiversity and ecosystem health. Without bees, many ecosystems will be altered and no longer exist.

    Unfortunately, bee diversity and populations are threatened due to the destruction of their natural habitats, bee disease and pests, agricultural chemicals, and a decline in commercial beekeeping.

    How to help our bees from becoming extinct

    · Stop using chemical insecticides & herbicides and replace them with natural alternatives.

    · Plant ‘bee-friendly’ gardens with various native plants and pollen-rich flowers. Diversity is the key, aim for flowers to bloom at different times of the year.

    · Let your garden get a little messy…A few weeds and wildflowers offer more biodiversity so our bees can forage.

    · Only source local honey and support our important beekeeping industry.

  • Tasmania and Western Australia have strict quarantine rules and can incur fines upon inspection for anything that may pose a potential biosecurity threat. Seeded paper is prohibited.

    We do not recommend sending seed products internationally, as customs and quarantine laws vary from country to country and seeds may pose an ecological threat to the importing country.

    Laura Luke ships from New South Wales in Australia, so we do not recommend that customers from these states or outside Australia purchase seeded paper products. Laura Luke is not liable for quarantine fees or penalties customers may incur. You may prefer to purchase one of our standard greeting cards instead.
