Water is getting scarcer in the West, and many folks are looking for options to their high-maintenance, water-loving lawns. One great option is Ruschia lineolata ‘Nana,’ or Dwarf Carpet of Stars.
Some traits we’d like to highlight:
- drought-tolerant
- hardy to light impacts, such as occasional walking/playing
- perennial that is green all year
- never needs mowed
- can be edged once or twice a month
- stays under two inches tall
- hardy from 20 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit
- flowers twice per year
Once established, this fabulous groundcover does a great job of outcompeting weeds.
We’re always on the lookout for plants that are a great addition to a trouble-free landscape. Got a great one you’d like to share? Let us know in the comments below!
