A spreading ground cover with bronze-red, deeply divided foliage. Nectar-rich toothbrush flowers of deep purple-red with pink styles appear throughout the year. The combination of foliage and flower provide a safe habitat and feeding for wrens, honeyeaters and other small birds. An excellent living mulch to conserve ground moisture that will with stand heavy frosts and coastal conditions. A great fast growing groundcover that is also useful for mass plantings on steep slopes or banks, or a lovely curtain over vertical walls. Also worth considering for courtyards or enclosed spaces where its foliage texture will add interest or contrast to paving, stone and rock work.
