Herniaria glabra – Green Carpet, Rupture Wort
A tough little evergreen perennial that punches well above its weight as a ground cover, Herniaria glabra forms a dense, low mat of bright green foliage that turns attractive red tones in winter — providing year-round interest even in the off-season. Virtually maintenance-free, it's drought tolerant, deer resistant, and handles foot traffic between stepping stones. An excellent choice for filling gaps, covering slopes, and controlling erosion in challenging spots.
