A compact, clumping grass-like perennial, valued for its neat, arching strappy foliage that forms tidy mounds ideal for borders and mass planting. Spikes of small purple flowers rise above the foliage in late summer to autumn, adding a soft pop of colour. Tough and adaptable, it copes well with Canberra's frosty winters and handles both sun and shade positions with ease.
Position: Full sun to full shade
Soil: Adaptable; prefers well-draining soil with added organic matter
Watering: Moderate; more drought-tolerant once established
Habit: Compact, clumping groundcover — great for borders and mass planting
Flowering: Purple flower spikes in late summer to autumn
Hardiness: Frost tolerant, well suited to Canberra conditions
Mature Size: 30-45cm tall, 30-45cm wide, clump-forming
