Myoporum parvifolium Purpurea

Common Name: Creeping Boobialla 'Purpurea'

Description:
Myoporum parvifolium 'Purpurea' is a hardy, fast-spreading native ground cover known for its fine, deep purple-tinged foliage and delicate white to pale pink star-shaped flowers. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, it is highly drought-tolerant and ideal for erosion control, suppressing weeds, and adding year-round colour to garden beds and embankments. This low-maintenance plant prefers full sun to part shade and well-drained soil. Flowering from spring through summer, its nectar-rich blooms attract bees and other beneficial insects. With its dense, mat-forming habit, Myoporum 'Purpurea' is a versatile and attractive choice for low-water gardens.
