Kennedia prostrata

"Kennedia prostrata, or Running Postman, is a hardy, low-growing, mat-forming perennial vine native to Australia, commonly found in woodlands, heathlands, and coastal regions. It is known for its sprawling, trailing habit, bright green, trifoliate leaves, and vivid red, pea-shaped flowers with a yellow center, which bloom from winter to spring. The striking flowers are highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and birds.

Thriving in well-drained soils and tolerating full sun to partial shade, Running Postman is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance once established. Its fast growth and dense foliage make it an excellent groundcover for erosion control, filling garden beds, or cascading over embankments. It is well-suited to native gardens and wildflower plantings.

With its vibrant blooms, adaptability, and ecological benefits, Kennedia prostrata is a versatile and visually appealing choice for sustainable landscaping, habitat restoration, and ornamental groundcover applications.
