15+ Tough Ground Covers That Thrive in Queensland’s Heat

Описание: Looking for tough ground covers that actually work in hot, humid gardens? Whether you're gardening in Queensland, northern NSW, Florida, or anywhere subtropical, these plants are tried and tested in the heat.

In this video, I walk through 15+ ground covers growing in my Queensland garden right now. These plants don’t just survive—they thrive. Some are edible, some are medicinal, and others are just really good at filling space and protecting soil.

What’s included:

Ground covers that handle heat, humidity, and heavy rain
Edible and ornamental options
Plants for shade, sun, and wet patches
Quick propagation notes along the way
Real results from a real subtropical garden

Featured plants include kang kong, sambung, comfrey, pinto peanut, betel leaf, Brazilian spinach, mondo grass, and more.
