Goodenia heteromera

Goodenia heteromera, or Spreading Goodenia, is a hardy, low-growing perennial herb native to Australia, commonly found in grasslands, open woodlands, and along watercourses. It forms spreading mats of bright green foliage and produces clusters of cheerful, bright yellow, fan-shaped flowers, blooming primarily in spring and summer. These vibrant flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, enhancing local biodiversity.

Thriving in well-drained soils and tolerating full sun to partial shade, Spreading Goodenia is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for groundcover in native gardens, rockeries, and erosion control projects. Its dense growth habit helps stabilize soil and suppress weeds, contributing to sustainable landscaping efforts.

With its vibrant flowers, ecological value, and resilience, Goodenia heteromera is a versatile and visually appealing addition to native plantings, habitat restoration projects, and water-sensitive designs.
