Re: Non-invasive native ground cover suggestions please

Whereabouts are you @jeanette01? I would plant grevilleas. Birds love them and they are beautiful, flowering for most of the year. Grevilleas are also fast growing and respond well to pruning so they can be kept neat if that your concern. Their roots are also shallow they are not invasive to pipes or lift paving etc. And of course there are many, many varieties.

Grevillia - Bronze Rambler

 

I saw this beautiful ground cover at an open house last year on the outskirts of Ballarat.  If you can find it, I'd recommend it.
