Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An all-star ground cover named for its decorative bladder-shaped calyxes, this European Campion stays smothered with dainty five-petaled flowers all summer long. Low gray-green cushions of tiny, lancelike fleshy leaves promote the pink-blushed white blooms and curious rosy sable-colored
Compact is, if anything, an understatement. So flat that the cats can sleep on it and you'll never even tell.

Zone 5 -Joseph
Pink flowers. Tight green leaves.
