Dampiera 140MM

Dampiera diversifolia

I am Dampiera. My family originated from South West Australia.

Habit Groundcover - Colourful Groundcover
Plant family Goodeniaceae
I have the brightest blue to purple-blue carpet of flowers throughout spring and summer. Each of my small blooms have contrasting pale centres. I have a dense spreading habit to about a metre across with a ground hugging habit to height of typically no more than 10cm but sometimes a bit taller to 20cm. I will perform at my best with a sunny aspect in a free draining soil but tolerate shade and clay loam soils. I am ideal in rockeries and flowing over retaining walls. I am a great choice for exposed locations. I combine well with other ground covers with a similar habit. I attract bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. My dense habit sees me outcompete many weeds. I am a great Australian Native plant.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I am a carpet of bright blue flowers through spring and summer with few to no flowers for the rest of the year
I am a dense groundcover well suited to rockeries, large pots and borders
My dense habit means that I outcompete many weeds
