- Sit back and enjoy a fun and educational video about one of the most versatile and easy to grow native Callifornia plants... the groundcover known as Turkey Tangle Frog Fruit!
This is a very informative video on frog fruit. I really enjoyed learning the history of the plant.
I've been slowly converting sections of my yard with this plant. It's amazing how resilient it is.
I am from Martinez California and have found Phyla Nodiflora randomly in areas after using kurapia and learning more about this great ground cover!
I'm in No. Calif. and see 2 of the 3 butterflies you show. I do gardening for others and first saw it in the back yard of an old neighborhood. It was on compact soil and indeed walked on. It was therefore smallish but definitely a survivor, living at the whims of the seasons. Going on a search, discovered the name to be lippia. Now, I would love to find flats of it to plant in a client's back yard. Going to contact our local native plant nursery to see if they will do that. I think perhaps Annie's nursery in the East Bay may have it.
I am in Hollywood Hills and have a 20 x 20 area underneath an olive tree of this plant. I love it! Very easy to grow and very, very low maintenance.
im not sure if it was there prior to moving, was planted after, or carried over by something, but the south side of my mothers house is carpeted with phyla nodiflora and its so much more appealing than the sections of regular turf lawn on the east and west sides. theres always insects flying around for the flowers, where as the lawns are devoid of life. and even if its not truly native to socal, its much better than the invasive grasses that have to be weeded out constantly, and dont feel the wildlife
I have seen this ground cover growing wild in So-Cal parkways.
How is Phyla nordifolia related or not with kurapia utility groundcover ?
Great video , lots or great information.
Thank you...🙏
Where can one find seeds for this plant.
I just bought some on eBay from someone in Texas. All the nurseries in CA seem to sell them in pots or plugs.
Its hard to dig out the current lawn and plant this instead.
