Exceptionally well suited to Adelaide’s hot, dry Mediterranean climate, it thrives in full sun, poor soils, coastal winds and low rainfall. Its dense matting habit stabilises slopes, covers large areas quickly and spills attractively over walls and garden edges. Foliage is not fragrant, but may develop slight bronzing or silvery tones during cold winters or very dry summers, adding subtle seasonal variation. This broad-leaf white form is long-lived, resilient and ideal for SA landscapes requiring durability and minimal maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1–0.2 m H × 1.5–2.5 m W (broad, dense, trailing groundcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50–80 cm outward spread per year under good conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright to mid-green broader leaves compared to fine-leaf forms; evergreen; may bronze slightly in cold or dry periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure white star-shaped blooms heavily from late spring–autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen groundcover with long flowering season; subtle winter\/summer foliage tints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowers attract bees and small pollinators; dense cover provides habitat for lizards and beneficial insects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extremely drought-tolerant once established; excellent heat, wind and salt tolerance; ideal for coastal SA; light frost tolerant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Density:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 plant per 2–3 m² for broad coverage; 1–1.5 m spacing for edges or spillover zones\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePet Friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Considered non-toxic; ingestion may cause mild tummy upset in pets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere It Works Best\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun for best density and flowering; tolerates light part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prefers free-draining sandy, loamy or limestone soils; thrives in poor and rocky soils; avoid persistent waterlogging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Establishment: 2 deep soaks\/week for 8–12 weeks.
