This hardy perennial forms a lush carpet that quickly spreads across the soil surface, making it highly effective for softening edges, filling gaps between pavers, cascading over retaining walls, or covering shaded garden areas where other plants may struggle. In Melbourne’s climate, it grows well in part shade to full shade, though it can also tolerate some morning sun if the soil remains moist and well-drained. During spring and early summer, small violet to purple tubular flowers may appear among the foliage, adding subtle seasonal interest and attracting pollinators. ‘Creeping Greenie’ is particularly useful for suppressing weeds and stabilising soil in sheltered garden spaces. Its vigorous growth habit means it can spread readily, so occasional trimming may be required to keep it within bounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1027\" data-end=\"1053\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1027\" data-end=\"1036\"\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1036\" data-end=\"1039\"\u003e• Ground Cover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1055\" data-end=\"1128\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1055\" data-end=\"1071\"\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1071\" data-end=\"1074\"\u003e• Height: 5–10 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1091\" data-end=\"1094\"\u003e• Width: 60 cm or more (spreading)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1130\" data-end=\"1171\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1130\" data-end=\"1141\"\u003eAspect:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1141\" data-end=\"1144\"\u003e• Part Shade\u003cbr data-start=\"1156\" data-end=\"1159\"\u003e• Full Shade\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1173\" data-end=\"1231\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1173\" data-end=\"1187\"\u003eFlowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1187\" data-end=\"1190\"\u003e• Flowers in Spring\u003cbr data-start=\"1209\" data-end=\"1212\"\u003e• Flowers in Summer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1233\" data-end=\"1273\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1233\" data-end=\"1251\"\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1254\"\u003e• Purple\u003cbr data-start=\"1262\" data-end=\"1265\"\u003e• Violet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1275\" data-end=\"1484\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1275\" data-end=\"1294\"\u003eKey Attributes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1297\"\u003e• Suitable for Pots\u003cbr data-start=\"1316\" data-end=\"1319\"\u003e• Bee Attracting\u003cbr data-start=\"1335\" data-end=\"1338\"\u003e• Herbaceous\u003cbr data-start=\"1350\" data-end=\"1353\"\u003e• Perennial\u003cbr data-start=\"1364\" data-end=\"1367\"\u003e• Fast growing\u003cbr data-start=\"1381\" data-end=\"1384\"\u003e• Suitable for hanging baskets\u003cbr data-start=\"1414\" data-end=\"1417\"\u003e• Excellent ground cover\u003cbr data-start=\"1441\" data-end=\"1444\"\u003e• May spread aggressively if not managed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1486\" data-end=\"1673\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1486\" data-end=\"1499\"\u003eToxicity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1499\" data-end=\"1502\"\u003eMay be toxic to horses if consumed in large quantities.
