Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An interesting and useful spreading, semi-evergreen creeper with small, chocolatey purple leaves and yellow, bell-shaped flowers that bloom from summer into fall. Useful as a sun to part sun groundcover or as a plant to spill over walls or the edge of a container.

A low growing, semi evergreen foliage spreads quickly to form a dense groundcover. Small purplish-chocolate leaves with lots of golden yellow bell flowers. This small, creeping variety is perfect for garden fronts, cascading over stone walls, rock or alpine gardens, or a draping effect in containers. Prefers well-drained soils. Grows in sun to part shade. Low 2" tall and spread 2'-3' wide. Very striking!
