SELLIERA radicans. Chile. A modest little plant with some spectacular relatives (Lechenaultia, Dampiera, Scaevola), making a pleasing ground cover for moist places. Its stems are short, closely branched and completely hidden by narrow, rather succulent, dark green leaves. Nestled among the latter in summer are small, fan shaped white blossoms. This is a fine small-scale ground cover for moist places. Sun or shade near the coast, part shade inland, most soils, constant moisture. Probably hardy to 15oF.
