Native Coastal Plants
Coprosma acerosa
Coprosma acerosa, also known as Sand Coprosma or Tātaraheke, is a hardy New Zealand native groundcover well-suited to exposed and coastal environments. It features dense, tangled, prostrate growth with delicate, needle-like foliage in shades of green to bronze. This tough plant is excellent for erosion control, dune stabilisation, and low-maintenance landscaping. It thrives in sandy, free-draining soils and tolerates wind, salt spray, and drought once established, making it an ideal choice for native, coastal, or dry gardens.
