I planted Creeping Boobialla in the front yard two years ago and liked the way the pretty green ground cover spread, so I planted it in the backyard last year.
The ground cover looks nice the first year.
However, after having it for two years, I’ve nicknamed the ground cover Creepy Boobialla. The stems thicken, and the plant looks like a creepy, invasive creature. I even found an inch thick stem creeping under our front lawn. It had to go.
It took a shovel and pick axe to remove the last stem. I’m going to plant Gazania in its place in the spring. For now, black bark looks much better than Creepy Boobailla.
Japanese Blood Grass dies back each winter, and it spreads. I should have planted it in a container.
I love how the Green Carpet looks in our courtyard around the stepping stones and rocks. My intention was to have ground cover that acted like carpet, making our courtyard like a living room. It would be great if it didn’t always have clovers all the time. Thankfully, my daughter is old enough to help me pull them out now.
