Viola Banksii 'Aussie Carpet' (Australian Native Violet) (syn. Hederacea) is a low-growing Australian native groundcover that forms a lush carpet of rounded green foliage, complemented by delicate white and mauve flowers. Its spreading habit makes it ideal for filling spaces beneath trees, along pathways, between pavers and across shaded garden beds
Easy to grow and naturally low maintenance, this versatile groundcover performs well in part shade and can tolerate sunnier positions when provided with adequate moisture. It produces flowers mainly through spring and summer, with occasional blooms at other times, making it a practical choice for softening garden edges and creating a green, living carpet
