PROSTRATE MYOPORUM

 PROSTRATE MYOPORUM

                                          


Description

Prostrate myoporum has grass green, narrow leaves evenly spaced in spirals around horizontally spreading stems. It is commonly used as a ground cover. A profusion of small white flowers appear in the spring and continue throughout the summer. This low-growing plant is quite popular here in the low desert. Myoporum parvifolium will grow fast. The average height is 8 inches. It spreads erratically to 6 feet or more in all directions. Several plants may be grouped to create a continuous ground cover. Prostrate myoporum is frequently used in barren areas, along walkways and walls, or on slopes or banks, where it makes for excellent erosion control.

Maintenance

Although it is tolerant of our rocky, native soil, prostrate myoporum prefers prepared garden soil with good drainage. Plant it in full sun to light shade locations. Once established, prostrate myoporum requires little water. It benefits from an occasional deep irrigation in the hottest summer months. Most of the problems with this plant are a result of giving it too much water. Excess water results in rampant but weak growth. It will spread out from a central root in any direction. It grows mainly in the direction of moist ground. If you give it adequate water at the central root zone, it won't spread as much. Mass plantings will require some pruning and refurbishing in the early spring. Fill spaces with new Myoporum parvifolium plants where old ones have died.

AESTHETIC CHARACTERISTICS OF PLANTS

Image
Texture, form, size, and color are the physical characteristics of plants that provide interest, variety, and aesthetic appeal to a landscape. Besides being essential to life on our planet, plants add beauty and charm with their unique forms and color. Physical characteristics give each plant a distinct look and personality. Some plants are extroverts—loud, boisterous, and energetic attention-getters—while other plants are introverts—quiet, calm, and content to be in the background. A good mix of plant personalities creates an interesting and appealing garden.                                                                Some plants may have more value as a visual element in the landscape based on their physical characteristics.  The visual value describes the energy or impact of the plant in relation to its surroundings.  Some characteristics are more visually dominant and have a higher visual value, some are more functionally dominant, and some dominate simply by size.
