Viola hederacea, commonly known as Native Violet, is a low growing Australian ground cover loved for its soft green foliage and delicate purple and white flowers. It spreads gently to form a dense mat, making it a practical choice for filling gaps between pavers, softening garden edges, or planting beneath trees. Well suited to Melbourne conditions, it handles light foot traffic and works well in both sun and shade.
