Explore popular alpine varieties such as Hebe, Dianella, and Cushion Plants. Each is selected for its adaptability to NZ’s alpine and temperate conditions, drought tolerance, and distinctive growth forms. These plants provide exceptional ground cover, structural interest, and vibrant blooms suited to rocky and well-drained garden sites.
Alpine plants are naturally hardy and well-suited to New Zealand’s varied climate, especially in cooler, elevated, or exposed sites. Their compact growth habits and drought resistance make them ideal for low-maintenance gardens. These plants add unique texture and seasonal interest, supporting biodiversity by attracting native pollinators.
Alpine plants generally require minimal care, thriving in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade. Regular watering during establishment helps root development, while mulching preserves moisture and suppresses weeds. Pruning may be necessary to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
All our alpine plants are NZ-grown and carefully packed for safe shipping nationwide. Enjoy expert customer support and reliable delivery, ensuring your plants arrive healthy and ready to thrive in your alpine or temperate garden.
