Leptinella 'Platts Black' is a low-growing, mat-forming New Zealand groundcover with finely divided, fern-like foliage in deep green to near-black tones, commonly used as a bold textural contrast in gardens; it spreads by creeping stems to form dense carpets, performs well in full sun to partial shade, and is valued for its toughness and ability to thrive in difficult sites such as gaps between paving, rock gardens, and low-maintenance landscape plantings.
