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.
Dianella nigra (New Zealand Blueberry)
Dianella nigra, commonly known as the New Zealand Blueberry or Tūrutu, is a NZ native that features lush foliage and glossy berries that vary in colour from blue, white, to deep purple. They are held amidst the strap-like, glossy green leaves. Dianella nigra typically grows to 40 cm tall and 50 cm wide, and is commonly included in a mixed planting or border, used in cottage gardens, or mass planted either on a bank or as a groundcover.

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. Typha orientalis is commonly used in wetland and riparian plantings but is also now being included in modern gardens where it is used in borders and mixed plantings.
