I have planted Raoulia between stones in a walkway, and it is deliriously happy. Also have it on a west facing slope, both are full sun, hot as the dickens in the summer, clay soil underneath the patch on the slope and underneath the sand between the paving stones. I've now got so much of it I am giving it away. Great little plant! tough, pretty, lovely texture.

live in midwest IL, my sister, dug up w/ shovel just under the plant, from a girlfriend that was moving and gave them to me. let them set in my wheelbarral for all most 3 weeks, just kept wet, till i had time and a plan where to put them. NO CLUE. so decided to put under evergreen tree, about 20ft' tall. the southeast side, and they went nuts, they are spreaders, and even, brought some in the greenhouse this fall and doing great. they come back more and more every year. but i couldn't believe, how fast they spread. their doing great in greenhouse. keep crawlings, cut back and stay bushy green, or let hang out or around anyplant, the don't chock them nor climb up just spreaders. FAST. have pretty yellow spreading flowers, in spring to summer, after its a really pretty green carpet. thanks for listening becky

Imagine a prostrate, crusty, silvery mat of small, leathery leaves that are only 1/8" long and you have Raoulia australis. The small, pale-yellow flowers are insignificant. Coming from the alpine screes of New Zealand, it needs good drainage to survive, especially through the winter. In summer your Raoulia will need average moisture.
