Certainly one of the most popular of foliage perennials, silver mound forms a low cushion of ferny, silvery-grey leaves. In areas with humid summers it benefits from a hard clipping just as the tiny silver ball-like flowers appear, usually in mid to late June.
Plants will regrow quickly and remain attractive all season long. Good for hot, dry sites. Nice edging plant, also combines well with other perennials in tubs or mixed containers.

Creeping Jenny is a vigorous, spreading groundcover plant that can be very useful in moist, shady situations. Plants form a low mat of bright green rounded leaves, bearing bright golden-yellow flowers from late spring into the summer.
Excellent in pots and tubs, or cascading over walls. Too vigorous for the rock garden as the stems root into the ground wherever they touch, this plant is easily increased by simply moving new plantlets in spring or fall.
Will easily invade lawn and is difficult to get rid of, so plant cautiously.

Can’t decide between a green or purple sweet potato vine for the spiller in your containers? Try this variegated selection that’s a little of both! Its heart-shaped, near-black leaves are speckled with green - each one is nature’s masterpiece. Compared to older variegated forms, the shape of Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Shadowstorm™ is fuller, so you won’t need to continually trim to prevent it from getting scraggly as it grows. Expect the new leaves to emerge green, then develop their unique patterning with maturity and exposure to sunlight. Any leaves that remain solid-colored can either be removed or enjoyed – either way, the plant will thrive all season.
