Melaleuca violacea Prostrate Form (‘Prostrate Violet Paperbark’) is a hardy, dense groundcover native to eastern Australia, particularly Queensland and northern New South Wales. It forms a spreading mat up to 0.5 metres high and 1–2 metres wide, with arching, layering stems. Flowering in spring, it thrives in full sun but tolerates part shade, and is drought and frost hardy once established. Ideal for habitat gardens, mass planting, and exposed or challenging sites.
