Myoporum parvifolium 'Garden Armour'

Myoporum parvifolium 'Garden Armour' is a tough, fast-growing Australian native groundcover that lives up to its name with exceptional durability and resilience. This vigorous selection produces masses of small white star-shaped flowers in spring and summer, followed by purple berries that attract native birds.

Growing to approximately 0.3m high and spreading 2-3m wide, 'Garden Armour' is perfect for covering large areas quickly, suppressing weeds, and stabilizing slopes. Its dense, prostrate growth habit creates an attractive evergreen carpet that tolerates moderate foot traffic once established.

This myoporum thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts to a wide range of soil conditions, including poor soils. Exceptionally frost-hardy and drought-tolerant, it's ideally suited to cold-climate gardens in the Ballarat area. The succulent foliage provides year-round interest, and its low-maintenance nature makes it a popular choice for large-scale landscaping, nature strips, and water-wise gardens.
