Fragrant Nz Native Plants
Pittosporum tenuifolium – NZ Native Hedging and Screening Tree
Pittosporum tenuifolium, also known as kōhūhū or black matipo, is a fast-growing, evergreen tree native to New Zealand. It typically reaches up to 10 metres tall and 3–5 metres wide, making it ideal for hedging, screening, and native revegetation projects. The foliage is generally green-blue and may vary slightly in shape depending on regional variation. In spring, this tree produces small, fragrant purple-black flowers that attract night-flying pollinators. Pittosporum tenuifolium performs best when planted in full sun or partial shade on well-drained soil, and it is well-suited to a wide range of environments including coastal gardens, windy sites, and areas with moderate frost or dry conditions.
Pimelea prostrata Blue Peter
Pimelea prostrata Blue Peter, commonly known as the NZ Daphne plant, is a mat forming, NZ native, ground cover plant. It has small, blue foliage which becomes adorned with fragrant, white flowers in spring and results in white berries. This evergreen typically grows to 10 cm tall and 50 cm wide. Pimelea prostrata Blue Peter is commonly used as a groundcover, added to coastal plantings, included in rock gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, grown on a bank, or positioned so it can spill out over a path or over a wall.
