Hydrocotyle laxiflora
Hydrocotyle laxiflora is a low-growing Australian native groundcover that spreads readily in moist, shaded or partially shaded garden beds. It performs best in well-drained soils with consistent moisture and is an excellent choice for filling gaps between stepping stones or as a lawn alternative in humid climates. Minimal maintenance is required beyond occasional trimming to control spread.
