Design with this plant

Overview

Falkia repens, commonly known as Little Ears, is an evergreen groundcover native to South Africa. It forms a dense, low mat about 2-3 inches high, thriving in USDA zones 9-11. Its kidney-shaped, glossy leaves, measuring up to 1 inch across, create a lush tapestry. Optimal in partial shade with moderate water, it tolerates light foot traffic, perfect for adding verdant texture to pathways and between stepping stones in the landscape.
