Frogfruit - Phyla nodiflora
Frogfruit, Phyla nodiflora, forms a dense, low-growing mat of small, rounded leaves, punctuated by tiny, white, button-like flowers. Its spreading habit creates a lush, green carpet, ideal for areas where a ground-hugging texture is desired. Historically, preparations of this plant have been used in some cultures for their soothing properties. In modern landscapes, it excels as a durable ground cover, capable of tolerating foot traffic and varying soil conditions. Its ability to stabilize soil makes it valuable for erosion control, while its delicate flowers add a subtle beauty to pathways, rock gardens, and the edges of native plant borders.
