Red Runner

Also commonly known as Running Postman, this beautiful groundcover provides vibrant Spring colour. At one time, this species was abundant in what is now metropolitan Melbourne and grows as a perennial groundcover. You might also use it for its trailing effect in containers or in the front of the dry garden.

We recommend the use of Wildflower Seed Starter Granules for improved germination rates and speed. These granules provide chemicals normally found in bushfire smoke that stimulate native seed germination.

When to plant: All year round except in hotttest or coldest weather.
How to grow: Sow in warm areas anytime. In frost prone areas after danger of frost is over. Place seeds in a cup of hot water. It is beneficial to add Wildflower Seed Starter granules. Leave overnight then drain and sow. Fill small pots or trays with moist sandy soil and compress. Sow 2-3 seeds 6mm (¼in) deep in each pot. Keep moist. Cover with clear polythene – remove when germination commences. Place in warm shaded position to germinate fully. Thin out to the best seedling in each pot and plant out into permanent position when about 8cm (3in) high. Water in well and regularly until established. Use light application of low phosphate organic fertilizer.
