Also known as scurvy weed

A perennial prostrate herb of the family Commelinaceae native to moist forests and woodlands of eastern Australia.

The blue flowers appear over the warmer months

Bee and Bird Attracting we regularly see both native and European bees feeding on the flowers. Recently we have also noticed pale-faced parrots feeding on the flowers

We use this as a green mulch and ground cover

Leaves were eaten by the first white settlers in Australia, to alleviate scurvy from lack of vitamin C.
