    "most useful for covering tracts of ground in unconsidered corners."

    "Gardens in Australia", p. 28

    "I did not take to this little plant very readily - it seemed a little coarse, but when I saw a brave row of little blue soldiers growing quite happily in some of my "dishonourable" ground, close to pines, my heart warmed to it at once, and every available off-shoot has been gathered to cover more difficult patches in other parts of the garden."

    "Letters to Garden Lovers", Australian Home Beautiful, December 1937.
