A native perrenial, the Rega Renga is a favoured native landscape plant for covering ground under trees. Tolerating full sun to full shade it works superbly to add foliage and flowers in areas most shrubs won't thrive. White star-shaped flowers arrive in early summer that stand out over lush green leaves. Can be frosted back in cold areas. Will grow to 1m by 1m.

Densely tufted species with a stiff, erect habit. Reddish-brown colour and short seed heads the same length as the leaves. Occurs on foreshores among scrub and damp ground near streams.

Large tussock often forming thick trunks to 1m. Requires moist soil conditions. Often seen on lake, pond or stream edges. Attractive yellow-green or golden hue.

Single stem initially, then branched with strap-like leaves, evergreen. Tolerates a wide range of sites, including coastal and swampy sites. Our selection is from a cold inland Canterbury site.
