The Sydney Coastal profile

Mild, frost-free coastal gardens with humid summers. Two strong planting pushes a year, and a long shoulder season either side of winter. GrowCal uses this curated regional profile rather than claiming that every garden in Sydney has the same conditions.

Local frost pockets, shade, soil, aspect, container growing and variety can all change the sensible timing. Use these windows as a starting point and observe your own garden.
