I am inerested in learning what is involved in starting a myoporum lawn. Will it grow in the NE. All details

Question

Is it difficult to plant? Is it expensive? How does it look? Any downsides?

Answer 1

Myoporum is a very hardy ground cover. I work in a nursery in Western Australia in the sub tropics. It grows well here and the temp can get as high as 50, and as low as 9 degrees Celsius. It would grow well as a "ground cover", I'm not too sure how it would go as a lawn as it grows say to approx 15cm high producing tiny star shaped (I think) flowers. I'm not sure what would happen when it was mowed. It also grows in most soils and environments. Good luck. Try Lippia.
