Grasses & Tussocks

Hardy, low-maintenance, and full of texture—native grasses and tussocks are the quiet achievers of New Zealand landscaping. Ideal for mass planting, erosion control, borders, or adding movement and structure to your garden. All varieties are grown tough to handle real conditions—from dry, windy paddocks to frost-prone backyards.

Shop our range of NZ-native carex, poa, festuca, and more—perfect for natural planting schemes or modern designs.
