Dampiera trigona

Dampiera trigona is an attractive Australian native perennial groundcover that creates a spectacular display of blue to blue-purple flowers from spring through summer. Its low, spreading growth habit makes it ideal for softening garden edges, spilling over retaining walls and adding colour to containers and hanging baskets.

Growing to around 30cm high and up to 1m wide, it forms a naturally spreading cover that performs best in well-drained soil in full sun to light shade. It tolerates light frost and dry conditions once established, although additional watering during dry periods encourages stronger growth and flowering. Its versatility makes it suitable for courtyards, cottage gardens, coastal landscapes and drought-tolerant plantings.
