creeping pratia
Creeping pratia is a favourite ground cover for New Zealand gardeners looking for a lush, low-growing option that’s both hardy and beautiful. With its delicate foliage, tiny starry blue or white flowers, and ability to quickly carpet spaces between pavers or under shrubs, creeping pratia brings a soft, magical quality to any landscape. As a versatile and robust plant, it can thrive in tricky spots where other ground covers often struggle. Whether you want to fill gaps in a cottage garden, create a living mulch beneath trees, or soften the edges of garden paths, creeping pratia is well worth considering for your outdoor oasis.
Leptinella dioica (Bachelors Buttons)
Leptinella dioica (aka Cotula dioica), commonly known as Bachelors Buttons, is an herbaceous perennial native to New Zealand. It is a creeping and somewhat fleshy plant that bears small and green, fern-like leaves with a touch of bronze. Small, yellow flowers are borne through spring and summer amidst the foliage as it grows to 10 cm tall and 70 cm wide. Leptinella dioica is a great plant to use as a low groundcover, for planting between rocks and pavers, using in tropical gardens, or planting around pool areas.
