Description
This is a ground hugging, creeping, 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. It is used in water gardens and for habitat restorations. Butterflies love this groundcover also. It prefers wet, sandy soil but does not tolerate salt water.

Water Saving Tip:
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
