native wetland plants
Native wetland plants play a crucial role in New Zealand’s ecosystems, providing habitat for wildlife, helping manage water quality, and supporting biodiversity. If you’re looking to restore a wetland, create a wildlife-friendly garden, or stabilize a pond margin, choosing the right native wetland plants is essential. These species thrive in moist soils and can handle periodic flooding, making them perfect for both natural wetlands and constructed water features. At our nursery, we offer a range of robust, locally-sourced wetland species that will bring your landscape to life while supporting environmental health.
Carex virgata
Carex virgata, commonly known as Swamp Sedge, is a hardy New Zealand native sedge that thrives in wetlands, damp soils, and along waterways. It forms dense clumps of upright green foliage, making it excellent for stabilising soil and providing habitat for wildlife.

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.
