    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    New for 2010! From the rocky slopes of Turkish forests comes this hardy small scale groundcover/ edger/ trailer you could use for your dry garden , rock garden or hardly- ever-get-a chance-to- water container. Only 4”-6” tall and to 1’ across you get a low soft looking downy grayish green mound sporting small spikes of hooded violet and white Salvia like blooms over a long period. Just make sure to provide excellent drainage . Cut back in Winter. Deciduous in colder zones.
