Summer planting
Contrary to popular opinion, summer planting is fine as long as adequate water is provided throughout any prolonged dry periods. This allows you to take advantage of increased summer growth.
Selliera rotundifolia
Height: 0.03m;  Spread: 1m
Ground Cover
A brilliant lawn-like ground cover that never needs mowing. A hardy coastal plant that loves salt spray and stays weed free with regular dosing. A species from Taranaki with smaller round leaves than the more common form Selliera radicans.

Pretty sure I've id'd this correctly - found on the banks of a small stream at Cape Egmont. Looks just like the ones I have at home (in Auckland)!
Growing very happily either side of the banks of this small stream at Cape Egmont.
