Prostrate Zieria
Description
Prostrate Zieria is a charming native groundcover renowned for its small white flowers and distinctive prostrate growth habit that creates beautiful low carpets in Australian gardens. This attractive species produces clusters of tiny four-petaled white flowers that bloom profusely in spring, attracting native bees and small butterflies while providing excellent nectar sources. The small, trifoliate leaves create attractive fine-textured evergreen foliage that spreads horizontally to form dense mats. Hardy and drought tolerant once established, it thrives in well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade positions with excellent drainage essential. Perfect for rockeries, slopes, and areas where prostrate native groundcover with reliable white flowering creates low-maintenance landscape displays.
