About Us

Queenstown Nursery is your supplier of locally grown outdoor exotic and native plant species, grown across our Queenstown and Arrowtown growing sites and hardened off to suit the Central Lakes climate.

Our plants are grown from a mixture of seeds and cuttings, with a small selection brought in and then carefully hardened off to Queenstown’s varied conditions.

Rely on our seasoned team for expert guidance in handpicking the perfect flora for your garden’s unique requirements. We’re dedicated to promoting sustainable gardening practices and offering eco-conscious solutions, eliminating the need for long-haul transport to get plants to their new home. We have a large range of eco-sourced stock and plan to continue this, with the goal of one day being completely self-sufficient.

Already a proud supplier of trees, plants & shrubs to Queenstown District Council, we hope you embark on this journey with us to nurture the beauty of Queenstown, one plant at a time.

Best Plants for Central Otago - Our Top Recommendations

1) Chionochloa Rubra (Red Tussock)

The tussock is a staple within the Queenstown landscaping scene. You will find it within most gardens and across the district such as the remarkables. They can cope with a range of conditions and are well suited to the Queenstown climate.

2) Griselinia Littoralis

With their dense structure and large leaf, they are a fantastic option for a hedge. Growing to around 6m tall, these are well suited to a variety of scenarios to help give you the privacy screen you desire.

3) Phormium Jack spratt (Ornamental flax)

This eye-catching dwarf flax is a great addition to any garden. Tolerant of most soil conditions, they are perfect for the Queenstown region.

4) Hebe Wiri Cloud

A compact variety of veronica (hebe), these make a fantastic feature within your garden. Growing to 0.4m high & wide with light pink flowers early summer, these will not only attract wildlife, but the envious looks of your neighbours.

5) Leptospermum Scoparium (Manuka)

Fast growing, native tree with fantastic white flowers in the spring, even as late as mid summer. Attractive to bees and the source of the famous manuka honey, these trees are a great choice for your native planting project.
