Description:
Lessingia ‘Silver Carpet’ is a standout native groundcover prized for its dense silver foliage and late-summer lavender daisy flowers. It forms a soft, silvery mat that helps suppress weeds and conserve soil moisture, making it ideal for sunny slopes, dry borders, and pollinator gardens.

In the East Bay, it performs beautifully in sandy or rocky soils and tolerates coastal exposure. Once established, it requires little supplemental water, thriving in hot, dry conditions where other plants struggle. ‘Silver Carpet’ adds brightness to the landscape year-round and is an excellent choice for low-maintenance, water-wise landscapes.
