Why Buy Native Plants?

Native plants offer countless benefits for home gardeners, landscapers, and conservation efforts. When you buy native plants, you invest in long-lasting greenery that requires less maintenance and fertiliser. These plants are naturally adapted to our local soils and climate, making them hardy against pests, disease, and extreme weather. Native plant gardens also attract native birds and pollinators, bringing wildlife right to your doorstep.

Incorporating natives boosts ecosystem health and helps preserve our heritage. As New Zealand continues to face environmental challenges, planting native species is an easy way to make a difference—whether you're restoring a coastal reserve or simply greening your backyard.

Top Choices for Native Groundcovers

Groundcover natives are versatile performers, perfect for filling spaces, tackling erosion, and creating lush, low-maintenance landscapes. If you’re ready to buy native plants, consider these outstanding options:

• Leptospermum Wairere: This hardy, ground-hugging tea tree is ideal for garden borders and erosion control. Its fine foliage and delicate flowers add texture and interest year-round.

• Coprosma prostrata: A robust creeper with shiny, vibrant leaves, Coprosma prostrata is perfect for suppressing weeds and stabilising slopes. Its attractive berries provide meals for native birds.

• Fuchsia procumbens (Creeping Fuchsia): This unique, low-growing fuchsia features striking flowers and edible fruit. It thrives in coastal settings and brings a splash of colour to shady spots.

• Coprosma Hawera (Sand Coprosma): Adapted to sandy and exposed areas, Coprosma Hawera forms dense mats that thrive where other plants struggle. It’s an invaluable addition to coastal gardens.

• Coprosma 'Poor Knights' (Taupata): Known for its distinctive foliage and tolerance for wind and salt spray, Coprosma ‘Poor Knights’ is a top pick for seaside landscapes and urban settings.
