Flower – Viola hederacea – native violet

Gorgeous evergreen ground cover with petite mauve and white flowers. Ideal lawn substitute in under-plantings and shaded spots. Beautiful left to spill over hanging baskets.

Spreading native groundcover. Kidney shaped leaves & white viola shaped flowers with mauve centers. Can be used in rockeries as groundcover.

Fairly low maintenance. Normally quite easy to grow.
