Serendipitous supply
When the Monarch Butterfly NZ Trust wanted to give a gift of plants, locally sourced from Rarangi Beach, east of Blenheim, they came to Oratia. Not only could we provide an eco-sourced species, it was also a plant which had since disappeared from the region!

This is the Trust's story.

This Carex is similar to C. dissita but has long narrow brown seed heads and slightly darker green leaves. Very attractive tufted, dark green sedge of high fertility sites in shaded coastal forest.
