Myoporum parvifolium 'Davis' – Creeping Boobialla

Myoporum parvifolium 'Davis' – Creeping Boobialla

A reliable, fast-growing evergreen groundcover, 'Davis' forms a broad carpet of attractive foliage that is lighter green than the species. Fragrant white summer flowers brighten the low mat and attract butterflies, followed by purple berries for additional seasonal interest. This spreading shrub is excellent for covering large areas and helping control erosion on slopes. Its tolerance of drought, coastal conditions, heat, and poor soil makes it a practical choice for low-maintenance landscapes. Grow in sun to partial shade with moderate to dry conditions and well-drained soil.
