About Exotic Plants products
Exotic plants include non-native shrubs and other species grown for foliage, flowers, hedging or screening in New Zealand gardens. The category sits within ArchiPro’s wider range of high-quality plants and trees.
Types of exotic plants
There is a huge range of exotic plants in New Zealand and some of the most popular include:
Ilex 'Black Shadow'

Prunus lusitanica (Portuguese laurel)
This beautiful flowering shrub is able to add some interest to your garden. This shrub has dense foliage making it ideal to be used as a hedge. The flowers are white and fragrant.
Ilex ‘Hendersonii’
This is a mid-length shrub with glossy green leaves. The dense foliage means this exotic species can be used as a hedge or topiary to transform the plant into a work of art for your garden.
The advantages of high-quality exotic plants
Exotic plants are a pleasure to look at and they can bring a lot of joy and beauty into a space. Since they are rarer than native plants, they’re unique and this makes them more irresistible. While people believe that exotic trees and shrubs aren’t easy to look after, the truth is that when you buy from reputable providers, these plants are healthy and easy to maintain. This is one of the reasons you should always consider purchasing them from high-quality suppliers in New Zealand.
How to choose exotic plants that are right for you
With so many exotic house plants to choose from in New Zealand, it’s normal to get confused when deciding which ones to pick. If you’re keen on getting exotic house plants, the first thing you need to consider is picking healthy greenery. You can then narrow down your choices based on size, type, and maintenance required. For outdoor plants, you should look for species suited to the weather conditions in your area. This includes the rainfall and temperatures across all seasons. You should also check what’s required in terms of ongoing maintenance and if they have any susceptibility to local pests that you should be aware of.
Exotic indoor plants need a different placement check: compare the plant’s light requirements with the aspect of the room. For tropical species, check whether the label recommends indoor growing or outdoor planting before choosing a position. At an exotic plant nursery, ask whether a hedge listing is supplied as an instant hedge or as individual plants; a plant nursery or garden centre can confirm the mature width to use when setting spacing.
