- Koelreuteria paniculata, known as the Golden Rain Tree, is a medium‑sized deciduous tree with a broad, spreading canopy. Its long pinnate leaves emerge pinkish in spring, mature to green in summer, and turn a brilliant yellow in autumn. In early summer, elongated panicles of golden‑yellow flowers appear, creating a magnificent display. With origins in China, Korea, and Japan, this tree is hardy once established, tolerating heat, drought, and urban conditions with ease. Highly adaptable, the Golden Rain Tree grows in clay, loam, or sandy soils. Moreover, it can thrive even in nutritionally poor soils, although it will not tolerate waterlogged ground. Compact yet striking, it grows to approximately 5m tall by 4m wide, making it a standout specimen for smaller gardens or feature plantings.
- Knightia excelsa, commonly known as Rewarewa, is a striking evergreen native to New Zealand. It forms a slender, erect, and tapering tree with long, green serrated leaves that adds texture and structure to the landscape. In spring, it produces very unusual tubular reddish-brown flowers with yellow tips that are highly attractive to native birds, adding both ecological value and seasonal interest. Because of its upright habit, Rewarewa is ideal for smaller gardens and narrow spaces. Additionally, it is well-suited to coastal gardens. While it tolerates clay soils, overly wet conditions should be avoided. Likewise, phosphate-based fertilizers are not recommended. Typically, it grows to approximately 7 x 3 metres, making it a manageable yet elegant choice for urban and rural settings alike. Interestingly, the Latin name Excelsa refers to its tall, strong stature.

Although it is deciduous in all but the warmest climates, it still offers year-round visual interest thanks to its fine, feathery green foliage. As early summer arrives, its canopy transforms into a striking display, when soft purple blooms blanket the tree in breath taking colour. Not only does it provide beauty, but it also makes an excellent dappled shade tree. Native to south-central South America, this sub-tropical species thrives in sunny locations with moist, well-drained soil but will tolerate dryer once established. Typically, it grows to around 7 meters tall and 5 meters wide, making it a standout feature in gardens or larger landscapes.
- Ilex ‘Largo’ Holly is a slower-growing, upright shrub with dense, bushy form. Its dark green oval leaves, developed in New Zealand, stand out because they have smooth edges, unlike the classic Holly. Moreover, this versatile shrub thrives in moist, well-drained soil and grows happily in full sun or partial shade. It performs beautifully as a border or hedge, and thanks to its compact size, it fits perfectly into smaller gardens. In addition, Ilex ‘Largo’ adapts well to coastal environments and can be shaped into elegant topiary. At maturity, it reaches approximately 3.5m high and 2.5m wide, making it both practical and decorative.
- Hymenosporum flavum known as the Australian Frangipani, is a vigorous, evergreen tree with an upright habit and open form. Its long glossy green foliage provides year-round interest, while the tree’s elegant structure makes it a standout feature in any garden. During spring and early summer, it bursts into clusters of creamy yellow flowers. These blooms release a delightful fragrance, attracting bees, butterflies, and nectar-loving birds, which in turn bring vibrant life and movement to your outdoor space. Native to Australia, this tree thrives in moist, well-drained soil and full sun. However, it benefits from being planted in a sheltered position, away from strong winds, ensuring healthy growth and long-lasting beauty. Reaching approximately 10m high and 4m wide, it suits both spacious and smaller gardens. With regular trimming, you can easily maintain a compact shape and control its height, making it a versatile choice for modern landscapes.
- Howea forsteriana, commonly known as the Kentia Palm, is an elegant, arching palm with shiny green fronds. Because of their feather-like appearance, these fronds create a graceful silhouette, making this palm one of the most popular choices for both indoor and outdoor settings. As the fronds naturally shed, the slender trunk becomes beautifully ringed. Over time, this adds visual texture and enhances its tropical appeal. Native to Lord Howe Island, it thrives in a range of climates between Australia and New Zealand. Thanks to its slow and steady growth, the Kentia Palm is perfect as a standout feature in tropical gardens. Moreover, it tolerates very low light, coastal exposure, and windy conditions, making it incredibly versatile. When young, it’s important to keep the palm moist and partly shaded. Eventually, it reaches around 5 metres in 10 years and can grow beyond 10 metres at full maturity, offering lasting impact with minimal fuss
- Hoheria populnea, known as Lacebark, is a compact evergreen tree native to New Zealand. Its slender branches carry fresh, light green leaves that are semi-glossy, veined, and sharply toothed, giving it a delicate yet vibrant appearance. From late summer into autumn, the tree bursts into bloom with masses of starry, snow-white flowers. These striking blossoms often conceal the foliage, creating a dazzling seasonal display. The name “lacebark” refers to its fibrous inner bark, which resembles fine lace. This net-like material can be torn into ribbons and was traditionally used by Māori and Pākehā for weaving hats, capes, and baskets. Thriving in full sun, it prefers moist, well-drained soil that doesn’t dry out too much. With its graceful form and cultural significance, it makes an ideal shade tree for smaller gardens. Expect it to grow to approximately 5 metres tall and 3 metres wide.
- Hibiscus syriacus ‘Diana’ is celebrated for its abundant blooms and long flowering season. This award-winning deciduous shrub is compact, making it perfect for smaller gardens or urban spaces. Its pure white, saucer-shaped flowers can reach up to 12 cm wide. With slightly wavy petals, they offer a soft elegance that stands out against green foliage. Unlike most hibiscus varieties, ‘Diana’ blooms stay open through the night. This ensures continuous beauty from mid-summer until the first frost. Each flower lasts about a day, while the foliage shifts from lush green to golden-yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest. It thrives in full sun and prefers moist, well-drained soil. For best results, plant in a sheltered position to protect from harsh winds. ‘Diana’ is easily trimmed to shape and makes an excellent potted plant. It grows to approximately 1.5 meters tall and 1.2 meters wide.

Whether grown as a shrub or shaped into a small, rounded tree, it features thick, glossy lime-green foliage with a bold, tropical feel. Thanks to its compact form, it’s easily trimmed into a neat hedge or left to fill out as a natural screen. Whether facing wind or salt spray, this plant stands strong. It thrives in both full sun and shaded areas, making it a reliable option for coastal gardens or sheltered urban spaces. However, for best results, ensure good drainage. Reaching around 3 metres tall by 2 metres wide, it’s perfect for compact areas needing bold structure and lush greenery.
- A bold and fast-growing native of New Zealand, Griselinia littoralis 'Broadway Mint' or Kapuka, is a robust shrub or small tree—an impressive variety of littoralis. Its light mint-green leaves are glossy with a wavy edge that adds texture and strength to any landscape. Moreover, this versatile plant is easily clipped into a tidy smaller garden hedge or, if preferred, allowed to grow into a larger, structured screen. Not only does it thrive in coastal conditions, but it also stands up well to strong winds and frosts—making it a reliable choice for exposed sites. For best results, ensure good drainage. Ultimately, it reaches approximately 3.0 x 3.0 meters in size, offering both presence and practicality. Interestingly, the Latin word littoralis translates to “growing by the sea,” a fitting nod to its coastal resilience.
