☀️ Care in Perth
Position:
Full sun is ideal for dense growth, although it can tolerate light shade.
Soil:
Plant in well-drained soil. Perth’s sandy soils can be improved with compost or quality soil improver before planting.
Watering:
Water regularly during the first summer while establishing. Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant, but occasional deep watering during very hot Perth summers will keep the foliage looking lush.
Pruning:
Lightly trim after periods of vigorous growth to maintain a neat, dense carpet and encourage branching.
🌱 Fertiliser
Apply a slow-release, balanced fertiliser in spring. A second light application in late summer can be useful if growth is poor. Avoid over-fertilising.
🏡 Landscaping uses
Carissa ‘Green Carpet’ is particularly useful for:
- Groundcover planting
- Garden borders
- Under trees and larger shrubs
- Slopes and banks
- Coastal gardens
- Low-maintenance commercial landscapes
- Mass planting
- Erosion-control areas
- Poolside landscaping
🌿 Why choose it?
For Perth gardens, Carissa ‘Green Carpet’ is a great low-growing evergreen option when you want dense foliage with relatively low maintenance and good drought tolerance once established.
