Ornamentals for Commercial Scale
A comprehensive ornamentals range — grown to retail-ready standard and supplied consistently to garden centres, landscape trade buyers, and major retail chains across New Zealand.
An Ornamentals Selection Designed for Trade
Rainbow Park Nurseries produces a broad perennials range for the New Zealand garden retail and landscape trade markets. Grown at our 15-hectare nursery in Ramarama, our perennials programme spans flowering perennials, groundcovers, ornamental grasses, and foliage plants — all grown to consistent commercial specifications and supplied to garden centres and major retailers nationwide.
Perennials are a category where range depth and supply consistency matter as much as individual variety quality. Retail buyers need to know that the lines they range in spring will be available at the volumes they need, on the timelines they’ve committed to. Rainbow Park’s production planning systems — including our European Priva growing management software — give buyers that confidence. We plan production to agreed volumes and schedules, not just to available bench space.
Our perennials are sold under the Enrich with Nature brand, recognised by New Zealand gardeners and well-established in the retail channel. For landscape trade buyers, many lines are also available in larger-format production grades suited to commercial planting projects.

Consistency Across Seasons
Perennials are a year-round category, but they’re not a consistent-effort category —production timing, species selection, and bench management have to be carefully planned to ensure the right plants are available at the right stage throughout the calendar year, not just during spring. That requires real production discipline, and it’s something Rainbow Park has built into how we operate.
Our production planning systems let us schedule perennial production to forward-committed volumes, so retail buyers aren’t competing for available stock at the last minute — they’re drawing from a programme planned to their requirements. Our in-house logistics fleet means plants reach retail on the timeline and in the condition they left us. For category managers who’ve dealt with last-minute substitutions and condition complaints, that reliability is worth more than a wider variety list.
For landscape and trade buyers with larger-format requirements, our outdoor container nursery operation gives us the capacity to grow at scales that suit commercial project timelines — not just the standard retail pot sizes. Speak to us about what you need and we’ll discuss what’s possible.
