Rupturewort

Rupturewort (Herniaria glabra), also known as “Green Carpet,” is the ultimate living solution for high-traffic areas. This indestructible evergreen perennial forms a dense mat of tiny leaves that hug the soil. It can withstand regular foot traffic, making it the premier ecological alternative to turf or for planting between stepping stones.

As a robust member of the Herniaria genus, this plant is famously drought-tolerant and thrives in poor, sandy soils. It spreads outward but stays under 2 inches tall, requiring zero mowing. Its foliage transitions from emerald green to a rich bronze in winter.

• Indestructible Groundcover: Handles being stepped on repeatedly.
• No Mowing Required: Stays naturally flat and tidy.
• Drought & Heat Tolerant: Once established, it requires very little water.

Product Details: This Rupturewort is delivered as a dense 4-inch live plant in a nursery pot. It is a slow-to-moderate grower that creates a permanent, weed-suppressing carpet.
