Acaena inermis is a fast growing mat forming perennial often used as groundcover or in rockeries.
Grown for it wonderful dusty green coloured foliage. The pinnate leaves consist of many small leaflets with toothed margins and give the foliage a feathery appearance. This makes a great contrast when planted beside Acaena novae-zelandiae.
In summer insignificant light brown flowers are produced on spherical heads on top of upright stalks above the foliage.
Grow well in rockeries, along walls, along the edge of paths, the leaves will be a darker purple colour in full sun.
