Plectranthus parviflorus, commonly known as little spurflower or cockspur flower, is a perennial herb that is native to Australia, particularly to the understory of eucalyptus forests, rainforests, and coastal scrublands. It typically grows between 4-28 inches (10-70 cm) in height and thrives in shady, moist areas. This plant is characterized by its sprawling habit and its leaves, which are green, ovate, and sometimes with a hint of purple. The little spurflower produces attractive blue and white flowers that are small but showy, blooming throughout the year, with a peak in the warmer months.

Little spurflower is valued for its ease of maintenance and its ability to fill in shady spots in the garden. It is often used as a ground cover or in border plantings, and its continuous flowering provides extended visual interest. In cultivation, it prefers well-drained soils, moderate water, and part shade to full shade conditions. While it is not known for any significant diseases, it can occasionally suffer from root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly draining soils. It is not typically invasive but can spread readily in suitable conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
