Chrysogonum australe Eco Lacquered Spider Comptonia as well as summer flowering(aka: Chrysogonum virginianum 'Eco Lacquered Spider') Chrysogonum australe is the US Gulf Coast species, which for years was mistakenly lumped with the clumping Chrysogonum virginianum. Instead of clumping, Chrysogonum australe forms a fast spreading evergreen, deer resistant groundcover (4' wide in 2 years) in the moist woodland garden, quickly covering the ground without the need for mulch one of the best North American native woodland groundcovers
