woody perennial plant
A woody perennial plant is a reliable, long-lasting addition to any New Zealand garden. These robust plants are characterised by their sturdy, woody stems and ability to return year after year, making them a foundation for beautiful, low-maintenance landscapes. Unlike annuals that complete their lifecycle in one year, a woody perennial plant maintains living stems above ground throughout every season, offering structure, seasonal interest, and a dependable framework for your garden’s design.
