Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A nice introduction by Dan Hinkley shared with us by Riz Reyes. This is a deceptively speedy groundcover given good conditions which we have done. Lucky for you, we pot up the pieces that cross our imaginary perimeter. Evergreen foliage and fragrant white flowers in late spring. Boogies in rich moist soil.
