Tough and Twisted Combo (25 Plants)

Overview:

Looking for something a little wild, a little rugged, and a whole lot cool? Meet Tough & Twisted – a handpicked combo of Aotearoa’s most uniquely resilient native plants. This isn’t your average plant pack. It’s a celebration of the twisted trunks, windswept forms, and bold textures that thrive in our harshest landscapes – and look incredible doing it.

A selection of the toughest natives around, chosen for their toughness and ability to withstand most conditons.   Not only is this selection tough as nails, it will also look amazing with the very strong textures, colours and forms that come from being such tough plants.   Contains several 'twisted' varieties of divaricating shrubs that are trending now in designer gardens.

These plants are essentials for any alpine garden, not only for survival but to maintain the uniqueness of our alpine environment.   Also very suitable for coastal, cold, windy, poor soil and dry gardens.   Very suitable for modern landscapes.
