Biosecurity and plant certification

New Zealand has strict laws to protect its plants and animals from introduced species, and the EPA approves new species and organisms, including seeds and plants. Imports of plants for planting are regulated by MPI, so buying from local nurseries avoids import problems. Plant Pass is a voluntary certification scheme for New Zealand plant producers that recognises good biosecurity practice, and you can ask a nursery whether it holds it.

Season and planting time

November is spring here. The summer months from December to February bring heat and dry spells, so young plants planted now need watering through the summer. Winter from June to August is the cold season, when most tender young plants should stay under cover or wait for warmer weather.

Sizes, delivery and warranties

Sizes are given in millimetres for small pots, centimetres for tall plants and litres for shrubs and trees. Ask whether the price includes packing for post, since young plants need protection in transit. For goods bought in New Zealand you do not usually need an extended warranty, because consumer guarantees already apply. Delivery is usually arranged between Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton and Tauranga.

What to write in the request

Give the plant or crop name (vegetable seedlings or ornamental plants), the quantity, the pot size or age, the delivery town, the date you need the plants by, whether they are for indoors or the garden, and your budget in NZ dollars.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe what you need in your own words, and you can add a photo. The AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in New Zealand, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, price and delivery terms. For seeds see Seeds, or for compost and potting mix see Soil & growing media.

Questions and answers

How much do young plants cost in New Zealand?

Small houseplants in 80 mm pots cost about NZ$5 to NZ$10, 12 to 14 cm houseplants NZ$20 to NZ$35, and 2.5 litre garden shrubs NZ$15 to NZ$29. A 10 litre tree can cost about NZ$136.

What is Plant Pass?

Plant Pass is a voluntary certification scheme for New Zealand plant producers. It covers pest plant management, hygiene and traceability, so ask a nursery whether it holds the certification.

Are there rules on bringing plants into New Zealand?

Yes. Imports of plants for planting are regulated by MPI, and the EPA approves new species, so buying from local sellers is the simplest option.

Do I need an extended warranty on a plant?

Usually not. For goods bought in New Zealand, consumer guarantees already apply, so an extended warranty is not normally needed.
