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.
