Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Very small, fleshy leaves with a purplish tint are decorated with pinkish white flowers. Tolerant of light foot traffic. Evergreen.

By: Phoenix Perennials and Specialty Plants Ltd.

This is a very low tight groundcover with fine foliage that takes on silver to purple hues, especially in cool weather. Very well drained soil is a must, especially in areas with wet winters. Probably best in z6 and warmer.

Tiny blue gray fleshy cylindrical leaves adorn eensy stems on form creeping 1/2" mats. Great little accent for troughs and succulent planters, or for use in between pavers and the rock garden.
