Kunzea 'Badja Carpet'

Kunzea 'Badja Carpet' is an exceptional Australian native groundcover that forms a dense, spreading mat of fine-textured foliage. In spring, this kunzea is smothered in masses of small white to pale pink flowers that create a stunning carpet effect, attracting bees and other beneficial insects to your garden.

This low-growing selection reaches just 0.3m high and spreads to 2m wide, making it perfect for covering large areas, cascading over retaining walls, or as an erosion-control plant on slopes. It thrives in full sun to part shade and is remarkably adaptable to various soil types, including clay.

Frost-hardy and drought-tolerant once established, 'Badja Carpet' is ideal for cold-climate gardens in the Ballarat region. Its dense growth habit suppresses weeds naturally, and the aromatic foliage releases a pleasant scent when brushed. An excellent choice for low-maintenance native gardens and water-wise landscapes.
