Myoporum parvifoliumCreeping Boobialla

The Myoporum parvifolium, or Creeping Boobialla, is a hardy, fast-growing evergreen groundcover native to Australia. Known for its dense, low-growing habit and fine, bright green foliage, it forms a lush mat that suppresses weeds and stabilizes soil. In spring and summer, small, star-shaped white to pale pink flowers add seasonal charm. Reaching just 10–20 cm in height and spreading up to 2–3 meters wide, it’s ideal for covering slopes, borders, and rockeries.
