Nz Native Wetland Plants
Baumea articulata
Baumea articulata, commonly known as the Jointed Twig Rush, is an attractive, NZ native grass grown for its aesthetics and ability to handle and colonise extremely wet soils. It forms a dense sward as it grows to 1.5 m tall, which provides an excellent habitat for frogs and water birds. New leaves emerge light green, then age to dark green, and are complemented by brown flower heads throughout the summer. Baumea articulata will happily grow in fresh, standing water (e.g., dams, swamps, creeks, and drainage areas) up to 1 m deep. This is a favoured plant among landscape designers constructing wetland areas.

Carex virgata
Carex virgata, commonly known as Swamp Sedge, is a robust, upright New Zealand native sedge widely found in wetlands, stream margins, and damp lowland areas. It features narrow, bright green leaves and forms dense clumps ideal for erosion control and habitat restoration. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it tolerates waterlogged and heavy soils well. Carex virgata is widely used in riparian planting, wetland rehabilitation, and natural landscaping due to its resilience and ecological value.
