Native Ground Cover Plants Australia

We are spoilt for choice when it comes to attractive and prosperous native plants in Australia. Beyond their moisture-retaining, space-filling, and often aesthetically pleasing attributes, planting a native ground cover species can enhance your garden’s environment by attracting local birds, insects and reptiles to the area and improving the ecosystem.

As with any flora, native plants should be planted in weed-free and well-mulched settings. This will set them up for long-term health and fragrance. Many of the top-recommended Australian native plants are chosen because they are drought and flood-resistant and suit a wide range of soil types and harsh climates.

Fast-growing Ground Cover Plants Australia

Native ground plants are generally categorised as spreading wide and growing between 4cm to 50cm in height. If you are seeking fast-growing cover plants to add texture and colour and fill gaps in your Australian garden, here are our top four recommendations:

  • Native violet (Viola Hederacca) – One of our favourite native ground cover plants, the native violet offers evergreen foliage, delicate lilacs, and white flowers.
  • Japanese Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum Asiaticum) – Fast-growing, this sweet floral smelling plant is the cousin of the well-loved Star Jasmine and offers a dense matt look to fill in areas around trees and shrubs.
  • Two-flowered Knawel (Scleranthus Biflorus) – Ideal for sunny environments, this native ground cover plant appears like a bright, soft cushion.
  • Kidneyweed (Dichondra Repens) – Fast spreading and low profile Dichondra Repens native ground cover is a beautiful deep-green landscaping option.

Low-maintenance Plants for Australian Gardens

Most of the time, native ground plants Australia act as a backdrop to other garden features, and it is worthwhile choosing low-maintenance varieties for minimal stress. The above fast-growing varieties will suit low-maintenance objectives, as will the following three recommendations:

  • Ajuga (Bugleweed) – Super-low maintenance is required for Bugleweeds, which offer deep burgundy foliage and hints of blue flowers in Springtime.
  • Myoporum Yareena™ – Hardy and low maintenance Yareena™ forms a dense, resilient carpet and helps fill a vibrant native garden.
  • Creeping Boobialla (Myoporum Parvifolium Fine Leaf White) – Native, dense, low-maintenance ground cover has glossy green leaves and bears white flowers during spring/summer.
  • Cut-leaf Daisy (Brachyscome Multifada) – Terrific as a ground cover or border plant, this native ground cover is hardy and will add pink, mauve or white flowers in an outdoor space.
