Kurapia is known as a drought-tolerant and low maintenance turf alternative natural ground cover sod in California. It is a low growing, herbaceous, perennial dicot groundcover belonging to the Verbenaceae or Verbena family. Kurapia works well to cover highway and freeway shoulders, rooftops, public utility areas, commercial properties, and solar farm landscapes. Also, it can serve as a lawn substitute that can take some traffic, and it can be mowed. It is commonly used in water gardens and for habitat restorations and it’s very adaptable, suitable in both wet and dry locations.
