This plant is considered a groundcover, but it can reach 50cm in height and can cover up to 1.5 meters. It's also very adaptable, tolerating frost and drought as well as a wide range of soil types, from sand to clay.

What I like about this plant though is the soft and dense foliage, its pretty little flowers and the ability to blend into non-native plantings.
The three (Billy, Dusty and Frank) planted down the front last year are starting to go crazy finally. Little Eastern Spinebills are flocking to them in Winter.
