A low-growing, creeping groundcover, Kidney Weed forms a dense, lush green carpet, making it an excellent alternative to traditional lawns. Thriving in South East Queensland’s subtropical climate, it performs well in shaded and semi-shaded areas, making it suitable for under trees, between pavers, and along pathways. Its soft foliage is tolerant to light foot traffic, making it a low-maintenance choice for courtyards, gardens, and natural landscaping. Beyond aesthetics, it plays an important role in erosion control, stabilising loose or sloped soils with its spreading root system. Highly adaptable, it thrives in moist, well-drained soils, but once established, it demonstrates drought tolerance. This versatile native plant is a great addition to eco-friendly and water-wise gardens where low-input greenery is needed.
