Soften and screen edges with these trailing beauties

Dichondra

A fast-growing groundcover with green kidney-shaped leaves, it forms a dense mat with delicate stems that cascade beautifully. Although dichondra may creep into lawns, this can be controlled with physical barriers or pruning. Tolerant of light foot traffic, it can be used as a lawn substitute.

Convolvulus

This hardy perennial has attractive soft-green leaves year-round. From spring to autumn, it’s smothered with mauve or blue funnel-shaped flowers. Spreading up to 2m, its tumbling habit makes it perfect for draping over walls and containers. Prefers full sun or part shade with well-draining soil.

Hardenbergia

Twining stems and leathery green leaves make this plant (aka false sarsaparilla) a great groundcover or climber. Masses of purple (or white or pink) pea-like flowers appear from late winter to spring. Grows in full sun or part shade and in most soil types, if well drained.

Casuarina ‘Cousin It’

This ground-hugging native forms a dense carpet of needle-like leaves. It’s ideal for spilling over rockeries, pots and retaining walls. The foliage is crowded, suppressing weeds and reducing soil moisture loss, making it a great ‘living mulch’ for sunny spots in the garden.
