Myoporum parvifolium, commonly known as Creeping Boobialla, is an attractive evergreen groundcover with lush, fresh green semi-succulent foliage. Its narrow, blunt, and thick leaves form a dense mat, perfect for under-planting, cascading over walls, or filling gaps in garden beds. During late spring to early summer, clusters of fragrant white tubular flowers appear, followed by decorative globular berries, adding both beauty and sensory appeal to outdoor spaces.

This hardy Australian native thrives in full sun to part shade and tolerates a variety of soils, including some clays, as long as they are well-drained. Creeping Boobialla is drought-tolerant once established, moderately frost-resistant, and low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning. Ideal for embankments, vertical gardens, and waterwise landscaping, it provides a lush, natural look while supporting sustainable gardening practices.
