Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This Australian creeper -- to only about 6” in height but extending to 6 ft or more spilling over walls or covering ground -- caught our eye some time ago for use as a most attractive knitter or spiller in containers. We also recommend it for garden use in climates more moderate than our own, having lost it or nearly so in two unusual winters. The small whitish flowers are inconsequential: it’s really the leaves and the stature that count. Drought tolerant once established in full sun for best color. Frost hardy in USDA zone 9.
