deep rooted native plants
Deep rooted native plants play a vital role in New Zealand gardens, providing stabilisation, resilience to drought, and a valuable contribution to our natural environment. These strong, resourceful species establish roots deep within the soil, helping prevent erosion and increasing a garden’s ability to withstand periods of dry weather. Whether you are seeking solutions for slopes, restoring coastal landscapes, or creating a robust shelterbelt, selecting the right deep rooted native plants will ensure both beauty and function for years to come.
Typha orientalis (Raupō)
Typha orientalis, commonly known as Raupo, is a vigorous and erect, NZ native grass. It is found throughout New Zealand in shallow, fertile waters such as sheltered lakes and swamps and will grow in water up to one metre deep. Plants will typically grow to 2.5 m tall and 1 m wide, but will quickly colonise larger areas as the roots spread.
