Deep Rooted Native Plants
Typha orientalis (Raupō)
Typha orientalis, commonly known as Raupo, is a vigorous and erect, NZ native grass. It is found throughout New Zealand in shallow, fertile waters such as sheltered lakes and swamps and will grow in water up to one metre deep. Plants will typically grow to 2.5 m tall and 1 m wide, but will quickly colonise larger areas as the roots spread. Typha orientalis is commonly used in wetland and riparian plantings but is also now being included in modern gardens where it is used in borders and mixed plantings.

Metrosideros excelsa Aurea
Metrosideros excelsa ‘Aurea’, commonly known as the Yellow Pohutukawa, is a rare and striking New Zealand native tree that features soft yellow flowers instead of the typical red. Growing 6–10 metres tall with a broad, spreading canopy, it offers a unique alternative for feature planting, coastal landscapes, or native gardens. Evergreen with dense, grey-green foliage, ‘Aurea’ is wind- and salt-tolerant, thriving in full sun and well-drained soils. It’s an excellent choice for year-round structure and summer colour.
