Ramm Botanicals does not supply direct to the public, nor to retailers, rather, they supply many hundreds of wholesale growers in Australia with rooted young plants. In turn, these growers either finish supplied plant material or use Ramm Botanicals elite young plants as the basis for their cutting programs.
The Anigozanthos (kangaroo paw) breeding program is the world's biggest. Ramm Botanicals distribute kangaroo paws as tissue cultures to many markets including USA, Europe and Japan.
