Among our most sought-after evergreen shrubs, Myoporum parvifolium is a low-growing Australian native that dependably and rapidly covers a 9 foot space with greenery 3-6 inches high. Rooting where it touches the soil, this is an excellent choice for slopes or hillsides where traffic is low to non-existent. In the spring, small white flowers appear and last throughout the summer, followed by inconsequential dark berry fruits. Best used in Sunset Garden Climate Zones 8, 9, and 12-24, it enjoys full sun and moderate to little water once established. Too much water will prove fatal. Its tiny but numerous leaves are densely placed on woody branches. A favorite at the coast and in desert regions, it is fire defensible, able to survive the ravages of this otherwise devastating element.
