Ligularia reniformis (Tractor Seat Plant)
Ligularia reniformis, commonly known as the Tractor Seat Plant, is a striking foliage plant ideal for shaded New Zealand gardens. It features large, glossy, kidney-shaped leaves that resemble old-fashioned tractor seats, adding bold texture and drama to garden beds. This evergreen perennial thrives in moist, well-drained soils and sheltered spots. Perfect for tropical-themed gardens, borders, or underplanting trees, it brings year-round interest and pairs well with ferns and hostas.
Stachys macrantha
Stachys macrantha is a lovely herbaceous perennial grown for both its flowers and foliage. This small plant produces masses of pink-purple flowers on short stems through late spring and summer. These are complemented by dark green foliage that sits neatly below the flowers. It typically grows to 40 cm tall and 50 cm wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of coastal conditions, moderate frost, and reasonable shade. This plant is commonly included in borders, used as a ground cover, planted around the base of larger trees and shrubs, included in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or mass planted for a stunning display.
