    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A Turkish species similar to salvifolia but more delicate, forming prostrate mats and lacking the impress veination in the leaves. Flowers range from pinkish to reddish purple but magenta is typical. It is an excellent plant and not always readily obtainable, although easy enough to grow and very free blooming, I particularly like it waterfalling over the edge of a big trough.____ZONE 5

    Turkish Skullcap. This sounds like one of those special buds you can buy at the newly legal marijuana dispensaries - "Turkish Skullcap brings you up slow but keeps you there looking at the world through rose-tinted glasses." Rose pink flowers most of the summer on this easy rock garden plant.
