Myoporum Purpurea - 14cm Pot

Myoporum parvifolium purpurea is a fast-growing Australian native groundcover that forms a dense, spreading mat of fine foliage. Fresh growth develops attractive purple tones, while small white flowers appear from spring through summer.

Its broad, low-growing habit makes it particularly useful for covering open ground, slopes and banks. Once established, the dense foliage can help suppress weeds and protect exposed soil. It can also be used as a lawn alternative in areas that receive little foot traffic.

Hardy and adaptable, this Myoporum tolerates drought, light frost and a range of soil conditions, including poorer and saline soils.

Mature size: approximately 20 to 30cm high × 1 to 3 metres wide
