Riparian 50 m2 Large Pack (70 Plants)
Queenstown Nursery
Tackling a larger restoration project, a significant wetland area or an extensive waterway boundary? This large pack gives you bulk coverage without the headache of planning a massive plant schedule.
This pack delivers a high-density, eco-friendly layout designed to establish quickly and look care-free. By planting this robust mix of native grasses, flaxes and cabbage trees, you’ll create a self-sustaining ecosystem on your property. It works hard to lock down steep or unstable banks, filter sediment from reaching the water and create a haven for local birds.
