This is a low spreading form of our popular Desert Star carissa, with equally handsome deep green foliage and small starry white flowers.

Green Carpet, as the hame suggests, is ideal for mass planting as carpeting groundcover, around larger shrubs or under trees as in our image gallery. It's good for banks and slopes too as it's hardy and low maintenance.
