Natives recommended for Wellington region

Wellington’s unique mix of cool winds, coastal breezes, and sheltered valleys calls for plants that are as resilient as they are beautiful.

Whether you’re planting a rugged coastal slope, a breezy urban garden, or a hillside sanctuary, these tough, adaptable natives will deliver year-round structure, resilience, and low-maintenance performance in the Wellington region.
