The foliage is deep green, almost succulent looking, and extremely shiny. ‘Table Mountain’ is an improvement of the old fashioned Delosperma ‘Coperi’.

Hot conditions keep the flowers blooming most of the summer, and it requires little to no care.
This will look great used as a ground cover in a rock garden, in front of a perennial border, and as an erosion prevention on sloped grounds.
Can also be used on hard to grow areas in the sun garden as they have little water requirements, yet fill in very quickly.

Feverfew
Feverfew is an herb. The leaves are used by herbalists to make medicine. It is also a very ornamental perennial.
Feverfew has many uses, including preventing migraine headaches in some people.
Feverfew is also said to be effective for fever, irregular menstrual periods, arthritis, a skin disorder called psoriasis, allergies, asthma, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), dizziness, and nausea and vomiting.
Some people use feverfew for difficulty getting pregnant or fathering a child (infertility). It is also used for “tired blood” (anemia), cancer, common cold, earache, liver disease, prevention of miscarriage, muscular tension, bone disorders, swollen feet, diarrhea, upset stomach and intestinal gas.

Herniaria, Green Carpet
Almost as rugged as grass, this groundcover can take substantial foot traffic. It also has a deep growing tap root, so is very drought tolerant. One plant can spread up to 24″. It has been used as a lawn substitute in some areas. Many people never notice it flowering because the white blossoms are so tiny and have no petals. But the foliage remains attractive, turning a bronzy red in winter. It’s great in heavy foot traffic areas because without flowers, it doesn’t attract bees.
Excellent in rock gardens and between flagstones in pathways. Also attractive spilling over walls, out of hanging baskets, and containers. A great substitute for Creeping Thyme.
Another name for this plant is Rupturewort. Said by herbalists to be used for urinary problems, since it increases urea and sodium emission without increasing urine flow.

- Height: 3 inches
- Width: 12 – 24 inches

Mint, Apple
This hardy perennial is a very robust grower. Apple Mint has interesting light green leaves. They are somewhat hairy on the upper surface and downy underneath, with serrated edges. They can grow up to 3 feet high, but may be kept lower.
Grow Apple Mint in full sun to light shade. Feed them heavily in late summer to guarantee healthy growth the following spring. Apple Mint will survive in dry soil, but will do much better in moist, fertile ground. Cut back or mow down the Mint patch 2 or 3 times a year to encourage fresh growth. Cut the stems even with the ground and throw out the long, woody stems. Strip off and dry whole leaves for potpourris. Save the top 2 to 3 sets of leaves for fresh use and garnishes. Apple Mint’s fragrance may vary in strength; the mild apple flavor doesn’t sustain well in dried leaves.
Mint, Chocolate
