Natives recommended for Southland conditions
Inspired by the stunning natural landscapes of Southland, these native plants are selected to thrive in cooler climates and high rainfall conditions. From lush forest understorey species to hardy alpine-edge plants, our Southland range is perfect for gardens, lifestyle blocks, and restoration projects in the deep south. These plants are well-suited to the region’s unique environment—cool temperatures, wet winters, and free-draining soils—and support local biodiversity by providing habitat and food for native birds and insects. Bring the beauty and resilience of Southland's native flora into your own backyard.
