Low Growing Natal Plum

The Low Growing Natal Plum, scientifically known as Carissa macrocarpa 'Green Carpet,' is a compact and spreading evergreen shrub that is valued for its dense, low growth habit and ornamental features. Native to South Africa, this Natal Plum cultivar is characterized by glossy, dark green leaves and fragrant, star-shaped white flowers. The plant produces small, edible red fruits that resemble plums, adding to its appeal. With its low, spreading form, the Low Growing Natal Plum is often used as a ground cover or as a border plant in gardens and landscapes. It is drought-tolerant and thrives in well-draining soil under full to partial sun exposure. The plant's resilience, attractive foliage, and occasional blooming make it a popular choice for those seeking a versatile and visually appealing ground cover option.
