No.

At least, not in Sydney and I imagine it's the same for the OP. Autumn
planting gives the plants a chance to develop their root systems before being
exposed to high temperatures. If you plant tube stock in spring, you lose
heaps over summer.

The Autumn Plant Sale at Mount Annan Botanical Gardens (organised by the
Grevillea Group of the Australian Plants Society) will be held on 5-6 April.
Pop down and see what's on offer.
