Tetragonia tetragonioides
A fast-growing Australian groundcover prized for its edible leaves and tough, low-maintenance nature. Warrigal Greens thrive in warm climates and coastal conditions, making them perfect for tropical and subtropical gardens.
The thick, fleshy leaves have a mild, slightly salty flavour and are commonly used as a spinach substitute once blanched or lightly cooked. Traditionally eaten by Indigenous Australians, this plant is a fantastic choice for productive food gardens, raised beds, and edible landscapes.
It forms a spreading mat along the ground, helping suppress weeds while providing regular harvests through the warmer months.
