Zone: 7 to 10.
Sun to Shade. Prefers some shade in zone 10.
Mature size: 6 to 24 inches tall; spreading evergreen ground cover.
Glossy green 1 to 2 inch long leaves form a thick, compact foliage carpet with fragrant, yellowish-white flowers in spring.
Easy-to-grow in any well-drained soil, even in salty locations, but grow best in fertile, loamy soil.
Good low maintenance lawn alternative as it tolerates some foot traffic. Excellent for slopes or low-maintenance cover, especially in areas requiring erosion control. Mow at highest setting in late winter / early spring for fresh foliage. |
