Chionochloa rubra, commonly known as Red Tussock, is a striking New Zealand native tussock prized for its rich bronze to reddish foliage that provides year-round colour and texture. Naturally occurring in wetlands, alpine valleys and open grasslands, it is an excellent choice for restoration projects, riparian margins and native landscapes. Red Tussock thrives in moist soils but is adaptable to a wide range of conditions once established.

    Wholesale Grade = 7cm pot, approx 300mL. Industry known as GOL (Growing on Line), or Liner. Smallest grade we offer, suited for potting up and growing on. Can be planted out directly under the right conditions with a plant guard.
    Landscape Grade = 9cm Pot, approx 500mL. Industry known a Revegetation Grade. Most popular grade we offer, plant is suitable size to plant out directly.

    Where possible, we source seed from naturally occurring populations as close as practical to their original environment. This helps ensure the plants retain the hardiness and characteristics that have developed over generations in local conditions.

    • Improve plant establishment and long-term survival.
    • Preserve the natural genetic diversity of local ecosystems.
    • Maintain the unique character of Canterbury's native vegetation.
