Nz Native Plants For Wet Areas
Carex secta (Swamp Sedge)
Carex secta, commonly known as Pukio or Swamp Sedge, is a striking New Zealand native sedge with bright green, arching foliage that forms large, fountain-like tussocks. Widely found in wetlands, swamps, and along stream margins, it provides excellent erosion control and serves as a habitat for wildlife. This hardy plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently damp soils. Carex secta is ideal for riparian planting, wetland restoration, and adding bold texture to native landscapes.

Carex solandri
Carex solandri is a NZ native, ornamental grass that features attractive, dark green foliage. The foliage emerges upright and develops a gentle and graceful arch as it expands. Dark brown seed heads in summer add an interesting element to this plant, which grows to 70 cm tall and the same width. Carex solandri is commonly added to woodland plantings, planted in shaded areas of the garden, grown around pond or stream areas, included in mixed plantings or borders, or mass-planted either on a bank or as a ground cover.
