Falkia Repens is a vigorous, low-growing ground cover that forms a dense, mat-like carpet of small green leaves. In summer, it produces delicate, pale pink to white trumpet-shaped flowers, adding charm to garden beds, pond edges, and wetland areas. This fast-spreading, hardy plant is excellent for erosion control and works well as a living mulch in water-wise landscapes. Ideal for covering bare ground or softening the edges of ponds and pathways, it thrives in damp conditions and requires minimal maintenance.
