Nursery contributed plant descriptions

When you see the color, texture and shape, it makes up for this very long name. Golden edges surround thin green succulent leaves in rosettes on prostrate stems. Gold flowers in summer are followed by showy red seed heads.

Neat clumps of attractively variegated and scalloped leaves topped with gold flowers in late summer; an artist once tried to explain to us how technically it was a perfect color combination. We just think it?s pretty! S-PSh/M

Zn 3. Pale yellow flowers. Green & white foliage.

Yellow blooms turn crimson, making a pretty contrast to the cream-edged foliage. Has a more compact habit than the species. Evergreen in mild areas such as ours.

Tough, easy, ground covering sedum with little rosettes of white edged green leaves and showy golden yellow flowers in early summer. Like most sedum, a reliable choice for difficult, dry spots. Zone 4

An enchanting, low matting, groundcover that looks pretty & cheerful all season. Easy as pie, drought tolerant & carefree- this rather new (& shorter than the species) selection forms a nice dense mat to only 4” tall & about 12” across with spoon shaped leaves merrily margined in cream & often blushed pink. Emerging from rosy pink buds atop pink stems are lots of cute golden star-shaped flowers that hug the foliage. Aging to crimson they keep the interest going late into the season. Just the perfect fellow for edging a pathway here & there or for brightening up any dry garden monotony. Combine with deep purple blooming Eryngium tripartitum for drought tolerant showy contrast. Choice for a low maintenance container or hanging basket as well! Attracts butterflies! Cut back in winter to keep it perfect.
