Product Description

Creeping Lippia Bagged Groundcover pairs Phyla nodiflora’s exceptional durability with a straightforward, point-source bag planting format. Each planting bag can be set directly into the soil without tilling, making it ideal for pathways, slopes, borders, or areas where soil conditions are difficult.

This species forms a tight, low-growing green carpet that stays lush through heat and drought. Its small lavender-purple flowers add seasonal charm while supporting pollinators. Known for handling foot traffic and thriving in poor soils, Creeping Lippia is an excellent eco-friendly alternative to thirsty, high-maintenance grasses.

About the Plant

Creeping Lippia (Phyla nodiflora) is a hardy, fast-spreading perennial groundcover that thrives in heat, drought, and poor soils. Its low growth habit forms a soft green carpet, accented by small purple-white flowers that attract pollinators. Tolerant of light foot traffic and minimal care, it works well as a warm-climate, water-saving alternative in pathways and borders.

Plant Care

  • Light – Full sun to partial sun.
  • Water – Low water needs; water to establish, then irrigate only occasionally.
  • Soil – Tolerates a wide range of soils; prefers well-drained conditions.
  • Temperature – Warm climates preferred; protect from hard frost.
  • Fertilizer – Minimal feeding required; optional light feeding in growing season.
