Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Purple-tinged foliage is the drawcard of Myoporum parvifolium 'Purpurea', also known as Purple-Leaf Creeping Boobialla. The colour deepens in cooler weather, while small white, star-shaped flowers stand out against the leafy carpet in Birak–Bunuru (Summer). This evergreen Australian native spreads close to the ground, making it useful for covering sunny banks, filling gaps between larger shrubs or softening rockery edges. Its dense growth helps shade the soil and suppress weeds, but it is best kept away from regularly walked routes. Give it full sun and well-drained soil for a dense, even cover. Water well after planting and while roots establish, then reduce watering as it settles in. Established plants tolerate dry conditions, with occasional supplementary watering helpful during prolonged hot, dry weather. Allow room for the stems to spread and root where they touch the soil, and trim back wandering growth to keep paths and neighbouring plants clear.
Height 15–30 cm
Width 2–3 m; rooted stems can spread further over time.
