Why we love this plant!

A delicate yet hardy native groundcover, the Love Flower produces charming flowers in shades of white, pink, and purple, often with intricate markings. This plant thrives in South East Queensland’s subtropical climate, spreading naturally to form a soft, green carpet in shaded or moist garden beds. It plays a vital role in supporting native butterfly species by acting as a host plant, contributing to local biodiversity. Its adaptability to a range of conditions makes it a great choice for rainforest-inspired gardens, borders, or understorey plantings.
