Ideal for rockeries, embankments, native gardens, and cascading over retaining walls, it creates a natural, low-maintenance display while helping suppress weeds and reduce soil erosion. Its nectar-rich blooms also attract native birds and pollinators, adding life and colour to the garden.

Its evergreen foliage provides year-round interest, while its long flowering season delivers continuous ornamental appeal.
