Very nice, Fermi.

I wonder how well it tolerates being walked-upon.
Two of my common groundcovers (Aptenia cordifolia, Carpobrotus spp.) do not like it. If you walk on them, soon you see brown patches, and the dead can spread. (No, I don't have weedkiller on my shoes.)

Hi Mike,
I can't say as it grows in a bed which isn't walked upon (if I can help it!).
We also have another form which isn't as prostrate - here are a couple of pics of it growing with Eremophila glabra

Eremophila glabra in this form makes a low mound of grey highlighted with yellow-green flowers
