Kurapia – A Low-Water Use Groundcover and Turfgrass Alternative
Kurapia is a low-water use creeping groundcover which may be used as an alternative to turfgrass in warm desert regions of Arizona. Kurapia (Lippia nodiflora; synonym Phyla nodiflora) is not a grass and not a clover. Kurapia is a broadleaf plant (eudicot) and a member of the Verbena family. Keen observers may notice Kurapia flowers resemble the flowers of Lantana, which is also a member of this plant family.
