Ground-covers

The combination of small size and striking foliage, flowers and fruit make our indigenous ground-covers absolutely perfect for an urban garden. They make great space-fillers between and under older and taller plants so go crazy and add lots of them to your garden beds. Ground-covers are an important component of a biodiverse garden providing food, shelter and nesting sites for a huge variety of insects, birds, small mammals and our many indigenous frogs.

Every garden has room for some pretty indigenous ground-covers!
