Riparian planting for healthier land
If your property includes streams, drains or wetlands, the right riparian planting makes a visible difference. It’s about more than looks - these plants hold soil on banks, filter run-off and create corridors for birds and wildlife.
Many riparian plants are grown right here at Hot Water Beach Garden Centre, so you know they’re tuned to local waterways. Favourites like flaxes, sedges, rushes, toetoe, kahikatea and cabbage trees thrive in wet soils, anchoring banks and filtering nutrients.
Shade from foliage supports fish and aquatic life, helping your waterways recover and your land resist floods and storms.
