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.
Noosa is full of colourful highlights as spring flowering continues. Flushes of pink and bronze and lime green new growth add another dimension of interest. Summer fruits catch our eye and the birds are introducing their babies to garden birdbaths. Enjoy the photos and information we have prepared for you.
September has been a colourful month. Here is some information about what you may have seen. You are welcome to share these images to spread the word about Noosa’s most valuable asset – its natural environment.

Colour everywhere and more to come as the weather warms. These plant pages are published during the month on the UWG Facebook page as well as the ‘What’s in YOUR wildlife garden’ Facebook Group. Share if you can to spread the word about our local native plants. Article by Stephanie Haslam
What’s in YOUR wildlife garden? With this in mind I have embarked on my first on-line workshop based on ‘Weaving for Fibre Sculpture with Harriet Goodall’.
