Running Postman

The Running Postman is an exceptionally tough, prostrate native groundcover that stays under 10cm in height but spreads widely up to 1.5 meters across to form a dense carpet. It features distinctive, rounded green leaves with wavy, crinkled margins, topped with a massive spring display of bright, fiery scarlet-red pea flowers. It acts as an elite living mulch for binding baked banks or cascading out of courtyard pots[cite: 27].
