Unusual, spreading miniature chocolate chip-sized foliage with shimmering lacy blue flowers. A true dwarf variety. Excellent ground cover and right at home trailing over the edge of containers.
Zones 3-11
Full sun to partial shade
In late spring, plants produce 6-8 inch flowering spikes with an abundance of 2-lipped, tubular lavender-blue flowers over an extended time making this plant a useful addition to the sunny border. The small crinkly green-grey leaves are short growing, aromatic and lightly toothed.
‘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.
A beautiful groundcover for sunny, dry areas. Fine-textured yellow flowers cover dark green leaves and red stems with a beautiful habit. Blooms a little later than standard summer flowering Stonecrop to extend the season of your garden.
Zones 3-9
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
Deep lavender-blue flowers and it is one of the most vividly colored catmints. Blooms from June to September.
Soft, crinkled, gray-green leaves on a short, mounding plant.
Good in containers, for borders, and the perennial herb garden. Very good choice for a tough, perennial ground cover!
Contains nepetalactone, the active ingredient in catnip that drives cats nuts..
Medicinal: In tea for nervous tension, sleeplessness. Catmint tea will put you to sleep in short order. Do not take this if operating a car or machinery!
Spiky yellow foliage! Makes an excellent ground cover (NOT for foot traffic) and is very fast growing. Good for container accents, too!

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.
