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.

Growing tips: On 13/04/2010, Toni said:
Toatoa seeds freely in my garden without being a nuisance. It seems to grow anywhere, shade, sun, wet, dry. Potted or bagged it goes backward quickly, probably because it is so vigorous. A good shearing a couple of times a year keeps it bushy. On 03/05/2010, Geoff Davidson said:
Thanks Toni,
I agree Haloragis is a great plant especially for suppressing weeds in revegetation plantings. Certainly a twice-a-year pruning will keep it looking its best.
