Add item to quote to see pricing

Falkia repens is an elegant perennial plant, affectionately known as the White Carpet. Hailing from the sun-kissed climes of South Africa, this hardy species has an alluring charm that can capture anyone's heart. It creates a bountiful display, spreading outwards up to 18 inches, courtesy of the small, shiny heart-shaped leaves that cloak the ground in a blanket of deep, vibrant green. A bounty of gorgeous, white saucer-shaped flowers emerges from the exquisite foliage, dotting the landscape with striking contrast from late spring to early fall. Built for the sun, the White Carpet revels in both the full midday rays and cooler partial shade, exhibiting impressive drought resilience that underscores its toughness beyond the undeniable aesthetics. Despite its exotic roots, the plant has a soft spot for well-drained soils but remains adaptable to shifting growing conditions. As a bonus, its dense nature makes it a natural pick for efficient weed suppression, while its blooming flowers stand as a siren's call to a host of enthralled pollinators. The Falkia repens offers a low maintenance, nuanced beauty to any outdoor space, whether it's serving as an eye-catching border, adorning rock gardens, or adding a unique touch to ornamental containers.
