Dry rockeries, embankments, seaside gardens make the perfect home for this compact native groundcover.

Vibrant fine foliage and red-cream flowers attract small nectar feeding birds. Dense mounding foliage helps suppress weeds and prevent soil erosion. Loves a sunny spot.

Note : these tubestock are a little smaller than our usual Gin Gin Gem size, but they soon grow fast.
