Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Gardeners in the UK know this pretty woodlander ground cover, but it is seldom encountered here. Evergreen carpet of pinnate, ferny foliage, 2-3” tall with relatively large starry white flowers floating on top June to July. Part shade, not fussy about soil but doesn't like it dry. Spreads but easy to control. USDA Z7 BSWJ197

Cheerful ground cover, to only 2" high, with fine, ferny foliage -- where fairy woodland creatures might want to curl up -- found in the mountains of Taiwan by Bleddyn Wynn-Jones. During the summer plants are completely covered with white, star-shaped flowers. Spreads by rooting at the nodes. Best in moist shade, so lots of summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. [BSWJ 197]

Nifty groundcover introduced from Taiwan by Crug Farm in Wales. This is a good spreader though easy to keep in bounds and prefers a loose organic rich soil that doesn't get too dry. Great under shrubs and perennials and forms a feathery dense mat with white starry flowers. Evergreen unless very cold.
