It forms a dense, weed-suppressing carpet of narrow grey-green foliage and produces masses of crisp white, star-shaped flowers from late spring through autumn. Extremely tough and long-lived, it thrives in poor soils, wind, salt and low rainfall, making it a standout groundcover for South Australian gardens, verges, slopes and large-scale plantings. Foliage is not fragrant but can develop subtle silvery or bronze tints during cold winters or prolonged dry spells, adding gentle seasonal variation.\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 (very low, spreading habit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40–70 cm spread per year under good conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage: \u003c\/strong\u003eFine, narrow grey-green leaves; evergreen; may show silvery or bronze tints in cold or dry conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abundant small white star-shaped flowers from late spring through autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1405\" data-end=\"1419\"\u003eFragrance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not fragrant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense evergreen groundcover with long flowering season and subtle seasonal foliage tinting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowers attract bees and beneficial insects; dense growth provides shelter for lizards and small fauna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extremely drought-tolerant once established; heat-, wind- and salt-tolerant; suitable for coastal SA; light frost tolerant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Density:\u003c\/strong\u003e Groundcover use: 1 plant per 2–3 m²; Edging or spill-over: 1–1.5 m apart\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePet Friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generally regarded as non-toxic; ingestion may cause mild stomach upset\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 to light part shade (best density and flowering in full sun)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free-draining sandy, loamy or limestone soils; tolerates poor, rocky soils; avoid prolonged waterlogging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Establishment: 2 deep soaks\/week for 8–12 weeks.
