Soil, climate and a planting calendar for Serpentine-Jarrahdale — across 6 postcodes.
Climate & hardiness
A cool-temperate area — ANBG Zone 2 — with winter lows near 2°C and light to moderate frost. Most temperate garden plants thrive; keep frost-tender subtropicals to a warm, sheltered spot or grow them under cover.
Rainfall & growing season
Low rainfall (589mm a year) — established beds still need summer watering, and drought-tolerant and native plantings suit the climate best. A frost-free, year-round growing season (~365 frost-free days) — something can be planted or harvested in every month, with warmth (and in the north, the wet season) setting the rhythm rather than cold.
