Falkia repens
Dense foliage, perfect erosion control
Need a low fast-spreading groundcover that really does the job without the eventual disappointing woody stems and brown patches? Native to S. Africa, "Little Ears" creates a lush, dense, rich green cushion-y mat or carpet to 5" tall and up to 3' across. Adaptable, LOW MAINTENANCE and highly effective for suppressing weeds, it's liberally sprinkled in late Spring thru Summer with cute upward-facing flaring white trumpet flowers. Best in fertile, well-drained soil, so sprinkle some compost over it once in a while. Valued for use between stepping stones, too. Cut back anytime to refresh. EVERGREEN in USDA zones 9-10. Hardy to 10-20F. Bees and butterflies.Â

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
