Samolus repens

Sea Primrose

Commonly known as Sea Primrose, this is a low growing herbaceous perennial often used as a groundcover in coastal gardens. It produces a dense network of creeping stems that host small and fleshy, dark green leaves. The foliage is complemented with small, white flowers during summer. This evergreen grows with a spreading habit to about 8 cm tall and 40 cm wide. It performs best when grown in full sun on a well-drained site, noting that is hardy to dry periods, coastal environments, and moderate frost once established. Sea Primrose is commonly included in borders, mass planted as a ground cover, maintained in a container, included in Mediterranean and coastal gardens, or planted around outdoor living areas. It is an easy plant to grow, somewhat unusual, and very rewarding.
