Why we love this plant!

This fast-spreading native groundcover is an excellent choice for erosion control, weed suppression, and low-maintenance landscaping in South East Queensland. It forms a dense, fine-leaved mat with purple-toned new growth and small white flowers in spring and summer. Thriving in sandy, well-drained soils, it is ideal for covering slopes, banks, and low-traffic areas, even tolerating saline soils near the coast. Frost and drought-tolerant, this plant is a fantastic addition to sustainable gardens, helping to stabilise soil while enhancing biodiversity.

Care Considerations

Watering preferences:

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

Mulching preferences:

  • Applying mulch may help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilising preferences:

  • Fertilisation is not required, but a light feed with a balanced fertiliser may encourage healthy growth.

Pruning preferences:

  • Will tolerate pruning—trimming may help prevent it from becoming sparse in shaded conditions.

Good to Know:

  • Excellent ground cover option for erosion control in coastal and dry South East Queensland areas.
