Garden notes
A native ground cover that loves moisture and dappled shade, and can stand in for lawn in low-traffic areas.
Fluffy, bright green and fast growing, with white flowers. Great for mounds or borders.
Native birds love them, they handle dry spells once established, and they make great low to high hedges. Not prickly, either.
Ant’s favourite kind of garden, especially planted together with Australian natives. Callistemon is her number one pick to go with it.
