This is a video about an outstanding Australian ground covering plant and how to use and grow it in your garden. Botanically speaking it belongs to the genus Gastrolobium which has also been know in the past as Brachysema. A particularly good form of the plant has been grown by various nurseries under the cultivar name ‘Brown Butterfly’ because each individual leaf is somewhat reminiscent of a butterfly ‘on the wing’.
