Vegetable Sheep (Noun)

The vegetable sheep, also known as Raoulia australis, is a perennial prostrate mat-forming herb native to New Zealand.
In its natural habitat, the vegetable sheep grows as a dense mat, covering the ground with its hoary woolly foliage.
The vegetable sheep is often found in areas with poor soil quality, where its ability to form a dense mat helps to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Due to its unique appearance and ability to thrive in difficult conditions, the vegetable sheep is a popular choice for rock gardens and alpine plant collections.
When grown in a controlled environment, the vegetable sheep can be pruned to maintain a desired shape and encourage healthy growth.
