Pomaderris phylicfolia (Tauhinu)

Growing Pomaderris phylicfolia Successfully in NZ

Pomaderris phylicifolia grows best in full sun with well-drained soil. It is well suited to dry, exposed, and coastal sites, making it ideal for difficult areas. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce as it becomes drought-tolerant. Minimal care is needed, though light pruning after flowering helps maintain shape. This resilient native shrub is perfect for erosion control, native gardens, and low-maintenance landscapes.

Pomaderris phylicfolia Care Tips

Plant Pomaderris phylicifolia in a sunny position with well-drained soil. Once established, it requires little maintenance and is tolerant of drought, coastal winds, and light frost. Water young plants regularly until roots are established, then only during extended dry periods. Apply mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushier growth. It is ideal for naturalistic and low-care planting schemes.

Plant Size and Spacing

Pomaderris phylicifolia typically grows 1-2 metres tall and 1-1.5 metres wide, forming a compact, upright shrub. For mass planting or native revegetation, space plants about 1 to 1.2 metres apart to ensure good coverage while allowing airflow. In garden settings, allow enough space to highlight its natural shape and provide access for light pruning if desired. This spacing supports healthy growth and long-term performance.
