Ground Covers

Myoporum parvifolium Broad Leaf White is a native, low-maintenance groundcover with glossy green leaves that effectively suppresses weeds. This prostrate shrub features small, lightly honey-scented, waxy white flowers along its stems in spring and summer. Fast-growing and low-maintenance, myoporum is well-suited for bank stabilization, fire retardant, and coastal areas.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Coastal, frost and drought hardy.
Size: Height 10-20cm x width 60cm-1m

Purple Fusion Scaevola is a wondrous, low-growing, wide-spreading native with masses of tiny purple-lilac flowers. The ground cover will bloom for the whole year unless a heavy frost occurs, with its heaviest flowering period in September-December. This variety does not mound so less cutting back is required. Purple Fusion is ideal in courtyards, landscapes, rockeries or cottage gardens.

Soil: Well-drained soil
Conditions: Full sun. Drought, coastal and moderately frost tolerant.
Size: Height 0.20m x width 1.5m

Grevillea Billy Wings is an eye-catching, low-growing shrub that forms a mounded, spreading shape with attractive grey-green foliage. It produces a vibrant display of red spider flowers from late winter through spring. This grevillea is ideal for mixed borders, rockeries, and embankments. For best results, prune after flowering to encourage new growth and avoid using fertilisers that contain phosphorus.

Soil: Well-draining native soil.
Conditions: Prefers full sun but will tolerate light shade. Drought, coastal and frost tolerant.
Size: Height 30cm x width 1m 

Myoporum parvifolium Fine Leaf is a dense, prostrate Australian native ground cover valued for its soft, fine green foliage and spreading habit. It forms a lush carpet that hugs the ground, making it ideal for covering large areas with minimal maintenance. From late spring through to early autumn, the plant is dotted with masses of tiny, starry flowers that sit just above the foliage, adding a delicate seasonal display while still maintaining its tidy appearance. Perfect for spilling over embankments, cascading across retaining walls, or filling difficult-to-access areas, Fine Leaf is excellent for suppressing weeds and stabilising soil. Its hardy nature makes it well suited to dry gardens, coastal sites and low-maintenance landscapes. Prune lightly once a year to encourage fresh, dense growth and to maintain shape. Feed annually with a controlled-release native fertiliser to keep plants healthy and flowering well.

Soil: Plant in free-draining soil rich in organic matter.
Conditions: Prefers a full sun position. Coastal, frost and drought hardy.
Size: Height 15-30cm x width 3m
