Woolly Stemodia
Woolly Stemodia (Stemodia lanata) is a versatile ground cover known for its striking, velvety white foliage that provides year-round interest in milder climates. This low-maintenance perennial spreads densely by stolons, making it an excellent choice for erosion control on slopes or as a trailing plant over the edges of pots and walls. Its delicate lavender or white flowers add subtle charm throughout the growing season, while its foliage remains fragrant and deer-resistant. Ideal for dry, sandy soils, Woolly Stemodia is also tolerant of saline conditions, making it a resilient option for coastal gardens. In warmer winters, it will remain evergreen. In colder temperatures, it will go dormant.
