Say twenty years old. The whole plant is about 20cm across.
Not like this one, for sure. http://www.plantarium.ru/page/image/id/102069.html (This is a link to a website for people who have the self-control to be able to enjoy pictures of plants and not want every single one of them, so be forewarned.)
Kingsville is the cutest thing! Fifteen years ago I had two in troughs. Mine were even tighter growing, and made great natural bonsai. I never decided on a reason why one winter they both up and died....
This shrubby, prostrate form of Artemisia has been grown for a long time in Australia as A. schmidtiana "Nana" but apparently that is a herbaceous species so it's possible what we have is A. caucasica but no one is prepared to say for sure!
This Australian native plant Pomaderris obcordata 'Mallee Princess' is quite low and ground hugging but was severely "pruned" by the parrots a couple of years ago so that may be why it has stayed compact!
That is a cutie. But by the flowering time, I assume it blooms on old wood? Of course, the ulterior motive here is if it would be good as a root hardy perennial in cold climates.

Cohan,
this colchicum is a bit too small to get through

This Reticulata Iris 'Harmony' is also finding a bit difficult now that the Teucrium has overgrown it,

It will quickly outgrow its allotted space so may need to be moved!

Hi Lori,
this specimen is very young so the stems don't appear woody yet. Other species that I've grown have developed woody stems,
