Ajuga, Bronze Beauty

Excellent ground cover does best in partial to full shade.  Reaching a height of 3-4 inches, this is right at home as a base plant for the shade garden plants or shrubs.  Blue-violet flowers in spring on 4-6″ spikes are a favorite of bees.  Forms a compact, dense mat that prevents weeds from poking through once established.  2-3″ oval shaped leaves form tight rosettes.  Bronze foliage is most vivid in cooler temperatures of spring and fall.  Stays ‘evergreen’ until temps drop below 15 degrees.  Foliage may show more green than bronze in very dense shade or during very hot, humid times.  Spreads by stolons, but is not invasive.

Pink Cat is an early blooming and mounding variety of Catmint that is not commonly found.  This type is somewhat shorter and bushier that common Catmint.  It forms fragrant pink spikes that will attract hummingbirds, butterflies and bees.

Pink Cat works well in containers as well as in your perennial border. Compact, heat tolerant, and easy to grow with aromatic leaves.

Use as a great general ground cover, accent plant, pathway edger, or rock garden specimen. (not for foot traffic)

Delosperma, (Ice Plant) Table Mountain
Delosperma, (Ice Plant) Table Mountain
Delosperma, (Ice Plant) Table Mountain

‘Table Mountain’, has 1-2” bright single fuchsia daisy like colored blooms that cover the plant most of the summer.

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

Expect a plant spread of 18” and a height of 2-3”. Best suited for a sunny area, with some afternoon shade, with well- drained soil. It prefers dry and sandy soil and does not like wet soil, especially in the winter.

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.

  • Fuschia Colored Daisy Like Flowers
  • Blooms All Season
  • Loves Heat and Drought
  • Height of 2-3″
  • Zones 5-9
  • Spread to 18″
  • Evergreen in most zones.  May turn yellow in fall/winter north of zone 6

Truly the “cat’s meow”, the best Catmint we’ve seen yet! Unlike most Nepetas that have a bit of a wild, unkempt look, this first class selection keeps its tidy, dense, rounded shape all season long.

Its small, grey-green, aromatic leaves are topped with well-branched stems carrying spikes of sky blue flowers with purple calyxes from early summer into early fall.
