Myoporum Parvifolium (Creeping Boobialla)
Myoporum Parvifolium (Creeping Boobialla)
Myoporum Parvifolium (Creeping Boobialla) is a hardy, fast-spreading ground cover, perfect for covering large areas with minimal maintenance. This Australian native features lush, green foliage and delicate white or pale pink star-shaped flowers that bloom in spring and summer, adding a soft touch of colour to the landscape.
Ideal for erosion control on slopes, rockeries, and as a natural weed suppressant, Creeping Boobialla thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates coastal conditions and drought. Its low-growing form, reaching only 0.1-0.2 meters in height, makes it an excellent choice for creating a dense, resilient ground cover in both gardens and commercial landscapes.
