I feel like there are very few plants that will flower prolifically in full shade, especially natives, so thought I would share.

I picked up Australis Indigo from a local biodiversity nursery in Bayside, Melbourne. Clearly thrives in full shade and sandy soil!

Did not flower the first spring I planted it but has trippled in size, growing very quickly. Rewarded with blooms this year.

You can buy from local native nurseries and Diacos.

    Also a legume, so pumps nitrogen into the soil.

    That is really pretty, definitely got a spot or 2 in mind for this!

    I’ve grown two of these from seed over the last few months and I’m so excited to plant them soon! Yours look fantastic.
