Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Teucrium scorodonia 'Crispum', the curly wood sage, offers wonderful textural semi-evergreen foliage with crinkled and rippled edges. It produces small greenish to white or cream flowers in summer. But the main interest is in the frilly foliage. Quite drought tolerant once established including in dry shade. Use as an accent or as a ground cover spilling over a wall.

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.
