Myoporum insulare ‘MYIN01′ PBR Intended Trade Name Ground Hug™
- Low height with rapid horizontal growth and dense, weed-controlling foliage.
- Exceptional resilience to frost, drought, and coastal conditions.
- Cost-effective ground cover with minimal maintenance needs
Ground Hug™ Myoporum is a game changer for landscape design, offering low height, rapid horizontal growth, and dense, weed-controlling foliage.
Its natural growth habit significantly reduces landscape maintenance costs by requiring minimal pruning while providing excellent surface erosion control and some of the best line-of-sight vision among low-growing plants.
It thrives in various soil types, including heavier and moderately boggy soils, but should not be used in continually waterlogged soils.
- Size: 100mm high (200mm over ten years with layering) x 4000mm+ wide.
- Planting Density: 1 plant per 1-2 m², 3 plants per m² for effective weed control
- Uses: Ideal for roadside, pathway plantings, wide borders, rain gardens, and covering untidy objects.
- Species: Myoporum insulare
- Position: Thrives in full sun; tolerant of frost, drought, coastal conditions, and various soil pH levels.
- Care: Low maintenance; annual edge prune recommended, avoid pruning in winter and summer; aggressive pruning every 4-5 years if needed to maintain height
- Where it works: Suitable for most landscapes within 100 km of the coast across Northern NSW, Victoria, SA, WA, and Tasmania; improved frost resistance down to -5°C allows further inland growth.
- Flowers: Small white flowers followed by edible berries traditionally consumed as bush tucker, though leaves are toxic
