Leptinella pusilla is an herbaceous perennial native to New Zealand. It is a creeping and somewhat fleshy plant bearing small, purple-green, fern-like leaves. Small, yellow flowers are borne through spring and summer amidst the foliage. It typically grows to 10 cm tall and 70 cm wide, growing best when planted on a well-drained site in full sun or partial shade. This hardy plant has storage roots which enable it to survive moderate frosts, dry periods, and coastal environments. This is a great plant to use as a low groundcover, for planting between rocks and pavers, using in tropical gardens, or planting around pool areas.
