Nursery contributed plant descriptions
(VARIEGATED RUPTUREWORT) A luxurious carpet for outdoors…no vacuuming required! Lies absolutely FLAT and spreads to about 2’ wide. This cultivar has tiny green & white variegated leaves with an overall silver green effect. A mossy look, no flowers to speak of (no bees), evergreen and grows in sun to part shade. Perfect between stepping stones, in parking strips and around rocks in well drained soils. Historically used to treat cuts (herniated skin). USDA Z7
Zn 5. Tiny green & white leaves red in winter.
Minute green and white flecked leaves on creeping stems form a dense foamy-looking mat. Flowers of tiny white stars bloom in summer. For thick, lush results, give water with good drainage. Full to partial sun, but protect from burning sun in hot climates. Sea Foam keeps the bright color year round. Photo taken New Year's Day in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Perfect as mini scene lawn or meadow. Excellent in troughs, rock gardens or as companion plant to Bonsai.
