This beautiful groundcover is first cousin to the native woolly bush - not that you'd know it from looking! Perfect for erosion control, poolside gardens, and rockery banks, this carpet-forming colourful native likes dry warm air, free-draining soil, and (like many of us) a coastal view. Plant it where the light can glow through the new leaves like a sunrise.
