In Australia horticulture types covers almost all types of topography, seasons and conditions. From Alpine and sub alpine to coastal, rainforest and even deserts. However, if you plan on buying seeds from overseas, you should first determine if it is actually legal to bring them in into the country. You can obtain this information from ICON the Import Conditions Database which is maintained by Biosecurity Australia (BA) and used by the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service (AQIS) when processing imports.
