Goodenia ovata Prostrate, also known as Hop Goodenia, is a low-growing, fast-spreading groundcover that adds vibrant yellow flowers and lush greenery to your garden. Native to Australia, this variety is known for its prostrate growth habit, making it an excellent choice for quickly covering bare soil, creating a natural-looking mat, or filling in spaces in gardens. The small, oval-shaped, glossy green leaves complement the yellow flowers that bloom in spring, providing a beautiful contrast against the foliage.
While this species is typically considered weedy due to its rapid growth and occasionally untidy appearance, it responds well to pruning, making it an ideal option for gardeners looking for a hardy, quick-growing filler. However, it’s important to note that Goodenia ovata Prostrate does not tolerate extended dry conditions and will thrive in sunny or semi-shaded positions with well-drained soils. Whether you're looking to cover ground quickly or add a pop of colour, this robust ground cover is a practical and decorative choice for various garden settings.
