Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The unusual, eye-catching leaves of this dwarf, slowly-spreading shrub are lime-green, 2-3" long with a wavy, crinkled appearance. PSh-S/M
A plant for dry shade! and pretty with bright green leaves that are crinkled and ruffled on the edges as well as fuzzy and aromatic. Did we mention drought tolerant once established? Grown for the foliage but flowers in summer with spikes of creamy flowers flushed pink. These mounding perennials, to 12-18" tall and spreading into 2' colonies, enjoy sun (with some water) to shade -- a ground cover that looks good in any conditions. Frost hardy to at least USDA zone 6.
