How to use Australian native groundcovers to transform your garden
In short: Discover how specific native Australian plants can act as living carpets, suppress weeds, and prevent soil erosion in your landscape.
This video explores various native groundcover species, highlighting their functional roles in a garden. Some varieties create a low, spreading cover ideal for shade or as a lawn alternative in low-traffic areas, while others form compact mounds of blue, mauve, pink, or white flowers.
The presentation details practical applications, such as using prostrate grevilleas on slopes or retaining walls to manage erosion. You will learn about plants that form thick carpets to suppress weeds, as well as climbers that can spread up to 2-3m across the ground.
