Phuopsis stylosa
This is a funky little ground cover plant and I have been using it at the front of containers too as it spills out and through other plants. Bright green needle like leaves and beautiful, delicate pink star like flowers. It also has very vibrant, yellow roots, that not a lot of people will see.
Common Name
Caucasian Crosswort
Height and Spread
no higher than 20-30cm and will spread to maybe 60cm
Cultivation
This wee plant will tolerate most fertile soil as long as it is not sitting too wet.
Additional Information
I have started using it in containers - I love the stary pink flowers and the funky green spikey like leaves, different to other low growing container plants I have used in the past.
It also attracts bees and butterflies.
Also, I love the earthy smell from the aromatic foliage when I am watering it or walking past it.
