Myoporum parvifolium - Creeping myoporum

Myoporum parvifolium

This very prostrate shrub grows 6-8 in. high and can quickly spread 12-15 ft. across and more. Creeping Myoporum foliage is comprised of small medium green leaves, to 1 1/2 in. long, 1/8 in. wide with small teeth around leaf margins. Numerous white flowers occur in clusters along branches in early spring and intermittently throughout the year. This species has proven to be a successful ornamental ground cover for slopes, medians, and understory plantings. It tolerates heat and frost and can be sustained with low amounts of supplemental water. It needs room to spread, but can easily be clipped along walkways and borders to fit the shape of planting spaces.

DOMESTIC USA SHIPPING

Our horticulture experts will determine if the plant needs to be shipped in soil, based on the particular species, size, and your hardiness zone. In general, agaves, cacti, and succulents will be shipped without soil, called “bare root.” (see below) We will find the best freight carrier to your address. While our top priority is a healthy, happy plant delivery, unfortunately, we have no control over how carriers handle our packages, nor where they are dropped off.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

All plants shipped beyond the USA mainland, including Alaska and Puerto Rico, will be shipped “bare root.” (see below) All plants shipped internationally, including Puerto Rico, require a Phytosanitary Certificate from the US Department of Agriculture.

Please check with your local customs department to see if you need any additional certifications, such as import permits. Note: while we have extensive experience and a track record of successful international plant shipments, we are unable to guarantee the plants' condition upon arrival.

BARE ROOT SHIPPING

This process simplifies shipping by dramatically decreasing the package weight, which keeps the cost of shipping as low as possible.
