Our native South Carolina species, \u003cem\u003eC. repens\u003c\/em\u003e, is very similar but spreads much more slowly. \u003cem\u003eC. australe\u003c\/em\u003e is identified, in part, by stolons that can be as much as to two feet long. The leaves grow in low rosettes. Flowers stand an inch or so above the leaves. The long stolons allow this plant to spread rapidly. In a garden, it makes a comparatively quick groundcover that will cascade over walls, slopes and the sides of containers. It is a good replacement for the non-native ajuga or bugleweed. The flowers are visited by early pollinators like bees. Deer tend to ignore it - possibly because of its low stature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SCNPS Upstate","offers":[{"title":"4\"","offer_id":46719790842143,"sku":"C-65","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/9501\/4687\/files\/chrysogonumaustrale-GreenandGold_GulfCoast.jpg?v=1694975017","url":"https:\/\/shopupstate.scnps.org\/products\/chrysogonum-australe-green-and-gold-gulf-coast","provider":"SCNPS Upstate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
