New Zealand Native Plants
Libertia
Sometimes the gardener who knows the least about New Zealand natives will be a native New Zealander gardener, so to speak! NZ native plants are so often taken for granted in their natural surroundings, and used in our gardens quite casually.
From stylish flaxes to the slow growing native trees, there are New Zealand natives for every planting style.
There are beautifully simple and elegant foliage plants, and the crazy divaricating shrubs which look like a tangle of horticultural scribbles. New Zealand natives can provide wonderful hedges, stout windbreaks, feature trees and flowering treasures like the hebe family.
