A living doormat of pure resilience, Herniaria glabra Rupturewort is a dense, ultra-low-growing groundcover that thrives where others surrender. Spreading into a tight, weed-smothering mat of tiny green leaves, it handles foot traffic like a champ, making it perfect for walkways, stepping stones, and lawn alternatives. In summer, it produces tiny, inconspicuous greenish flowers, adding a delicate touch to its rugged nature. Drought-tolerant, heat-loving, and practically maintenance-free, this barefoot-friendly groundcover is as tough as it gets.
