Silver Sprinkles Pilea libanensis

Silver Sprinkles is New to Plant Tiles!

Silver Sprinkles aka Pilea libanensis is the newest addition to our range of low growing ground cover plants grown in our unique Plant Tiles.

It is the perfect ground cover for those shady positions along the side of a building.

Sprouting from a reddish stem, the small grey/green leaves provide interesting foliage. Due to the gentle trailing characteristic, this plant also looks great in an indoor pot plant as a no mess living mulch.

Silver Sprinkles is best in a protected area away from direct sunlight and frost and likes well drained soil in which to grow as it prefers not to be over watered.

Able to take low traffic, these plants looks great along the edge of a shady path between buildings or as infill for garden beds under trees.

Where could you use this in your garden?

Native Violets flowers under trees

Native Violets make a Great Ground Cover!

Australian Native Violets – Viola hederacea banksii – have such happy little flowers! We love seeing them in our greenhouse growing in our unique Plant Tile form. They always look fantastic planted en masse as a ground cover. Happy in part shade, they look great under trees or used as a alternative living mulch. Additionally, their cascading nature also makes them a wonderful choice to plant near a retaining wall or in a pot plant.
