Arachis glabrata - Perennial Peanut

Add item to quote to see pricing

Arachis glabrata is more familiarly called the Perennial Peanut – a name which, while illustrative, is a touch of whimsy as it does not produce edible peanuts. This dynamic, evergreen shrub makes a big impact on landscapes despite its low-growing stature, creating a vibrant carpet of bright green foliage. This verdant setting is beautifully punctuated, in warmer months, by a constellation of small, golden-yellow flowers which resemble miniature suns scattered across a grassy sky. An ecological powerhouse, this plant thrives in everything from sandy soils to heavy clay, and its salt tolerant nature makes it an unbeatable option for coastal landscapes. The Perennial Peanut demands little but gives much, proving to be a resilient groundcover with drought-resistant qualities, ample sun exposure tolerance, and adeptness at erosion control. Its secret weapon – it has a knack for fixing nitrogen, quietly enriching the soil as it beautifies the terrain. Offering low-maintenance, versatile beauty with the might to endure varied conditions, Arachis glabrata boasts an appealing blend of form and function for any landscaper’s vision.
