An evergreen matting ground cover with fine, purple-tinged foliage that deepens in winter. In summer, it produces masses of small, starry white flowers that attract garden pollinators. This hardy native has a dense growth habit, making it perfect for rockeries, dry sunny banks, low-maintenance gardens, or hard-to-plant slopes, while also acting as a natural weed suppressant and adding striking colour contrast.
Summer
This adaptable plant Grows well in most soils and is moderately tolerant of coastal conditions. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires little water, though occasional watering during hot periods helps maintain growth. Thrives in high temperatures and is frost-hardy. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilise occasionally with a slow-release, low-phosphorus fertiliser. Pruning is only needed if shaping or controlling spread.
