Tree Nettle

Ongaonga, the tree nettle, is New Zealand's fiercest native plant, a tall shrubby nettle armed with pale, needle-sharp stinging hairs. Yet for all its ferocity it is also a nursery: its leaves are the sole food of the caterpillars of the beautiful red admiral butterfly, kahukura.

Tree nettle (Urtica ferox), known to Māori as ongaonga, is an endemic shrubby nettle in the family Urticaceae that can grow taller than a person, up to three or more metres. Its pale green leaves and stems bristle with long, stiff stinging hairs, or trichomes, that inject a potent sting, making it a plant to admire from a respectful distance in forest margins, riverbanks and clearings. This same fierceness makes ongaonga a keystone of native life: it is the essential host plant for the caterpillars of the red admiral butterfly (kahukura) and the yellow admiral, which depend on its leaves to feed and grow. Its very name speaks of its bite, and it holds a place as a plant of endurance and protection: formidable yet life-giving.

Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore Help Center
What is a stock flower essence?

A stock essence is the concentrated form of a single flower essence. It can be taken directly from the bottle or used to create a personalised blend.

First Light® stock essences are available as individual New Zealand native flower essences and combination essences, so you can choose and combine the essences to support how you are feeling or what you need help with.

How do I choose the right flower essence for me?

Start with how you are feeling and what you would most like support with right now.

You can explore keywords and information on each flower essence page, use the repertory to browse essences by feeling or need, or use the Constitutional Essence for a sense of inner balance and alignment.

If you would like a personal recommendation you can send us a message or book in for a no obligation free consultation.

How many essences can I combine?

Up to eight essences from No 1 to No 184 can be combined in a single personalised blend. No 0 Black Orchid can be added to any blend as a ninth essence.

This allows you to select a combination of essences to support the different emotional, energetic or personal growth needs.

Do flower essences contain alcohol?

Yes, generally flower essences contain a small amount of brandy, ethanol or grape as a natural preservative. To reduce the alcohol taste, add your drops to water.

How long does it take to notice a difference with flower essences?

It depends on the essence and the person. With an essence like Crisis Support for emergency or emotional first aid situations some people notice a difference within 15 to 20 minutes. Most people feel a shift within a few days. In general it takes about one month for changes to occur, and another month to integrate them.
