Goodenia Ovata (Prostrate Hop Goodenia)
Goodenia ovata (Prostrate Hop Goodenia) is a versatile and hardy ground cover ideal for adding a lush green touch to gardens and landscapes. With its bright green, ovate leaves and cheerful yellow, fan-shaped flowers, it creates a vibrant display from spring through summer. This prostrate form spreads easily, making it perfect for erosion control on slopes or as a dense ground cover in borders and rockeries.
This low-maintenance, Australian native thrives in various soil types and tolerates drought once established. Its adaptable nature, combined with its decorative appeal, makes it a popular choice for native gardens, wildlife-attracting spaces, and low-care landscaping projects.
