Myoporum Parvifolium Mat Pink - 14cm Pot

Myoporum parvifolium ‘Mat Pink’ is a hardy, low-growing Australian native groundcover with bright green, fleshy foliage and a dense, spreading growth habit. Its evergreen foliage forms a flat carpet across the ground, making it an excellent choice for covering open areas and adding greenery to garden beds.

During summer, ‘Mat Pink’ produces a profusion of delicate, pink, star-shaped flowers that spread across the foliage, creating an attractive seasonal display.

Fast spreading and easy to maintain, this versatile groundcover is particularly useful for rockeries, embankments and larger garden beds where low-growing coverage is needed. It also tolerates coastal conditions and short periods of dryness once established.

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil. ‘Mat Pink’ grows best in a sunny position but will tolerate some shade.

Adaptable to a wide range of soil types, this hardy Australian native performs well provided drainage is adequate. It is also suitable for coastal gardens.

Water regularly during establishment to encourage a strong root system. Once established, it tolerates short dry periods, although occasional deep watering during prolonged hot weather will help maintain healthy growth.

Prune regularly to encourage dense, compact growth and prevent the plant from becoming too open or straggly. Trimming is particularly useful when growing it along garden edges or across embankments.

Avoid consistently waterlogged soil, particularly during Melbourne's wetter winter months.
