Slope & Bank Stabilisation Combo

Take the hard work out of planting slopes, banks and difficult sloping ground with this carefully selected combination of hardy New Zealand natives. The Slope & Bank Stabilisation Combo brings together spreading groundcovers, fibrous-rooted grasses and robust woody shrubs to create multiple layers of vegetation across the slope. Together they help cover exposed soil, bind the surface, slow water movement and establish a resilient planted bank, while creating an attractive, natural-looking native landscape.

• 5x Coprosma ‘Red Rock’ - A compact, evergreen shrub with fiery red-bronze foliage and a naturally rounded form. Known for its intense colouring—especially vivid in cooler weather—it’s a standout choice for bold foliage contrast in borders, containers, or native-style landscapes. Like other coprosmas, it thrives in dry, coastal, and low-maintenance garden settings.   Height 50cm x Width 1.2m  [standard size - 7cm pot]
• 5x Needle Leaved Coprosma - Coprosma rugosa - A robust, fast-growing native shrub known for its glossy, richly textured leaves and dense, bushy habit. Ideal for hedging, screening, or as a structural specimen, it adds vibrant green colour and a glossy shine to gardens year-round. Its hardiness and adaptability make it a reliable choice for a variety of garden conditions.  Mature Height 2.5m x Width 1.5m
• 5x Griselinia littoralis – Broadleaf – A vigorous, substantial native shrub that provides the larger structural component of the combo. As it matures, its extensive woody root system reaches through a greater volume of soil than the smaller ground-covering plants, adding deeper reinforcement to the planted slope. Its dense evergreen canopy also provides shelter, helping create more protected conditions for surrounding plants as the bank establishes. Height 3–5 m × Width 2–3 m.
• 5x Coprosma ‘Black Cloud’ - is a compact, ground-hugging NZ native shrub prized for its dramatic deep purple-black foliage and dense, tidy form. Its colour intensifies through the cooler months, making it a standout year-round feature in modern gardens, rockeries, borders, and coastal landscapes.  Mature Height 80cm x Width 1.2m [standard size - 7cm pot]

• 10x Carex secta - Pukio or Swamp Sedge, is a striking New Zealand native wetland plant known for its distinctive raised “pedestal” growth habit. Naturally found in swamps, lake margins, and slow-moving waterways, it forms impressive golden-green tussocks that elevate above wet ground. Ideal for restoration projects, rain gardens, and pond edges, this bold sedge brings strong architectural structure to moisture-rich landscapes.  Masture Height 1m x Width 1m

   

By combining plants with different heights, growth habits and rooting characteristics, the Slope & Bank Stabilisation Combo creates a more complete planting system than relying on a single species. Lower spreading plants help cover the soil surface, dense grasses contribute masses of fine fibrous roots, and larger woody shrubs provide longer-term structure. The result is an attractive, predominantly evergreen native planting designed to progressively cover and strengthen difficult sloping ground while developing into a natural-looking landscape.
