Natives recommended for Central Otago conditions
Hardy and drought-tolerant, our Central Otago native plant range is built for the extremes of this iconic inland region. With hot, dry summers, cold winters, and rocky soils, Central Otago presents a tough environment—but these native species are perfectly adapted to thrive. Ideal for dryland gardens, shelterbelts, revegetation, and farm planting, they offer resilience, low maintenance, and natural beauty. From silver tussocks and hebes to native shrubs and groundcovers, these plants reflect the rugged charm and ecological uniqueness of the Central Otago landscape.
