Growing Tips
Fast growing plants spread by underground stems to create a great groundcover. Divide clumps when plantings get over crowded. Remove spent flowers, shears or even mowing on a high setting can quickly take care of the old flowers.
Chamomile has been taken for centuries as a digestive tonic. It reduces inflammation, stimulates the appetite and aids insomnia. Acts as a diuretic and nerve tonic. Helpful for colitis, diverticulosis, fever, headaches and pain. Good for menstrual cramps. Useful as a mouthwash for minor mouth and gum infections.
This perennial form is also known as Roman chamomile. Excellent groundcover since it grows only 4 to 12 inches in height. The feathery foliage has an apple scent. Blooms are white, daisy-like flowers with down-turned petals.
Roman chamomile foliage can be chopped and stirred into butter or sour cream that is used to top baked potatoes.
Popular as a dependable evergreen ground cover for shade and sun in most areas of the USA. ‘Caitlin’s Giant’ is a larger leafed ajuga with purple and green foliage with a ruffled edge. It is more tolerant of soil types than normal ajuga, and is actually quite drought tolerant once established. It performs equally well in sun or shade, and is a vigorous spreader, choking out weeds. Blue flower spikes appear in April through May. The plant grows 8- 10 inches tall and spreads up to 3 feet. It makes an excellent groundcover in shade or sun, but will not tolerate foot traffic well. Use stepping stones for pathways. Flowers are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.
Dark as night foliage with gorgeously scalloped leaves. A knock-out in patio pots, combos, and as a striking accent with white, gold or light colored plants. Great groundcover
Catnip has a well earned reputation for sending cats into states euphoria. Catnip, a member of the mint family, is a harmless “high” for felines. Although many cats will eat it, scientists say they’re reacting to the smell rather than the taste. Felines bite, chew, rub against, and roll in catnip to release the volatile oil trapped in the leaves. About 80% of adult cats react to this irresistible, intoxicating, analgesic soporific. The tendency to like or ignore catnip is inherited, and it’s true that some cats are immune to its influence.
