Plants suitable for Mackenzie Country
Hardy, high country natives grown for the unique conditions of the Mackenzie Country. This iconic region of Aotearoa is known for its wide-open landscapes, extreme temperatures, and dry, stony soils—and the native plants that thrive here are just as tough and striking. Our Mackenzie Country range includes species suited to the alpine foothills, tussock grasslands, and braided river margins of this spectacular region. Ideal for ecological restoration, farm planting, and dry-climate gardens, these plants are built to survive—and flourish—in one of New Zealand’s most demanding environments.
