Ground Cover - (Phyla/Lippia) Nodiflora

It is amazing how a so called "common" native can be impossible to find.

We don't know the plant, and we are plant people. The nursery on la ropa is run by Martina. Her brother has the main nursery somewhere south of here, Antonio, and he is formally educated in plants. He knows his stuff and would be our first try. She will call him as soon as you ask about the plant. Second try would be with photos and names to the last nursery heading north by the bridge on the old highway road out of la Puerta.

Shortly after our terraces were put in and pool installed, we realized that if things went wrong, we could have a mud flow into our pool. We planted portulaca, self seeding, loads of colors. It too doesn't like foot traffic, but did beautifully for two years on twice weekly watering. Very dense and very beautiful. Then we realized that the ground was stable and we let it die off.

We have never seen flats of anything available here.
