Gonocarpus tetragynus
Gonocarpus tetragynus
Gonocarpus tetragynus is a low-growing Australian native perennial suited to part-shade positions with reliably moist, well-drained soils. It performs best in naturalistic or native garden settings and requires minimal intervention once established. Avoid dry conditions as it is not drought tolerant and benefits from mulching to retain soil moisture.
