Gabin

Running Postman

Kennedia prostrata

Gabin is a ground cover with green crinkled leaves and bright pink flowers from August to December.

Its stems are used by the Wurundjeri-woiwurrung to make twine.

It grows best in well drained soil from full sun to semi shade and requires space along the ground to grow outwards.

Acknowledgement of Country

The University of Melbourne and the sites listed on this website are located on unceded land belonging to the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Boonwurrung peoples of the Kulin nation, and we pay our respects to the traditional custodians of the land. As students of the University of Melbourne, we benefit from the continued effects of colonisation. We also recognise that decolonisation is a necessary and active process all must participate in, and we hope that the Native Garden Project can highlight ways that our communities have and can contribute to the physical decolonisation of the land. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
