Description

This is a ground hugging, stoloniferous, rugged subtropical groundcover. It can serve as a lawn substitute that can take some traffic, and it can be mowed. It attracts bees when it blooms. In the winter, it looks shabby.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
