Living up to its name, 'Tiny Tank' is a compact, nearly indestructible groundcover for Houston's toughest shade spots. It is highly tolerant of the region's heat and humidity. While it can survive in heavy clay, it will establish much faster in loose, organic-rich soil. It is an excellent slow-growing solution for areas under dense tree canopies where grass and other plants fail to thrive.

Full Shade to Deep Shade (Avoid direct afternoon sun)
Height x Width
10-12" Height x 12-15" Width
Water
Low to Moderate; very drought tolerant once established
Zones
7 - 11
Fertilization
