Myoporum parvifolium (red form) groundcover

Myoporum parvifolium, commonly known as red form creeping boobialla, is a drought-tolerant groundcover adapted to many summer-dry climate gardens. This evergreen shrub has small, oval leaves and delicate, pinkish-red flowers that bloom in late spring. Native to Australia, Myoporum parvifolium is well-suited for mediterranean climates and thrives in full sun to partial shade. This low-growing plant spreads quickly and is ideal for erosion control on slopes or as a border plant. Myoporum parvifolium is a great choice for water-wise landscaping, requiring minimal irrigation once established. Considered deer-resistant, this groundcover is also suitable for attracting pollinators to the garden.
