Mazus Pumilio (Swamp Mazus)

Mazus Pumilio (Swamp Mazus)

This native groundcover is a good alternative to grass in a shady area.

Mazus pumilio is a creeping groundcover native to eastern Australia, from south east Queensland to Tasmania and south east South Australia. It is a small, perennial herb growing to .1 m and spreading to 1m.

We have a stretch of ground on the southern side of our house that is in the shade all winter, so the grass usually dies off and the weeds take over.
