Myoporum parvifolium

Myoporum parvifolium, commonly known as creeping boobialla, is a tough, fast-spreading groundcover prized for its dense green foliage and delicate flowers. A favourite among landscapers and home gardeners, this low-growing shrub is perfect for suppressing weeds and stabilising slopes or embankments. Native to South Australia, it thrives in a wide range of soil types and conditions, making it a reliable, low-maintenance choice for any garden.

Beyond its practical benefits, creeping boobialla also makes a meaningful environmental contribution as the sole food source of the Golden Rayed Blue Butterfly—an excellent option for those looking to create a garden that not only looks great but supports local biodiversity.
