Why we love this plant!

A low-growing, scrambling native groundcover that thrives in the diverse soils of South East Queensland, from sandy coastal areas to rich inland soils. Its pink to mauve flowers attract bees and butterflies, supporting local pollinators. It is particularly useful for stabilising soils in gardens prone to erosion, making it a great choice for naturalised and habitat-focused plantings.

Care Considerations

Watering preferences:

Requires low to moderate watering and is drought tolerant once established.

Mulching preferences:

Applying organic mulch may help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilising preferences:

Fertilisation is rarely needed, though a light feed with native plant fertiliser during the growing season may support growth.

Pruning preferences:

Pruning after flowering may encourage fresh blooms and maintain a tidy shape.

Good to Know:

Thrives in well-drained soil and can tolerate South East Queensland’s seasonal humidity and dry spells.
