Acrotriche depressa is a low-growing Australian native groundcover that thrives in partial shade with well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging, and mulch around the base to retain moisture. It produces small edible fruits and works well in native garden beds or rockeries.
