Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An exciting groundcover with strikingly variegated leaves; we hope that it will also have sweet berries (though we haven?t seen any yet) but even without them it should be a fine groundcover. S/M
Green and white leaves. Good ground cover. Stoloniferous and quickly spreading. White flowers. Somewhat limited supply.
