Why do we need one more miniscule, green, coarse textured groundcover? Because, you can always rely on a "Sedum" to be low maintenance and its leaves are smaller than the last groundcover we stumbled over. How low can we go? KAREN

Think of a forest of miniature blue spruce, frosted in pink, viewed from 1000 feet above. This is it - one of the most beautiful and unusual miniature sedums with pink tipped, blue leaves. If that isn't enough, how about pink and white flowers in early summer?

Sedum "Voodoo" and this rare cultivar inspired our "Jar Gem" series, that is, plants perfectly suited to the cramped quarters and dry, severe conditions of strawberry jars. You can't find this brilliant, yellow creeper from Japan in many catalogs. Lastly leaves are tasty as a "micro-green" salad addition

Of the 2 dozen miniature versions of popular perennials, this is Karen's favorite midget. Pinkish white flowers entertain irresistable, powder blue, pin head sized foliage each spring. To insure next year's crop, break off a small section and overwinter in a sunny window. From Arrowhead Alpines, so if someone finds this name incorrect, blame them.

The "Index of Garden Plants" (Royal Horticulture Society) lists this as Zone 8 hardy, but it has been growing in Zone 5 for 3 years at Klyn's Nursery. We are satisfied.

Antique-rose, winter foliage becomes ghostly white during the growing season. Will form a shallow mound in the rockgarden or trail down the side of small containers. In Ohio it seldom forms yellow flowers in summer and must have excellent drainage to overwinter, but for foliage alone, it is worth growing. We suggest stone troughs, drain tiles or any other planter well above the soil line. Found in Oregon.

I can't think of a darker, (mahogany, almost black) foliaged representative from the plant world. Imagine the color contrast in your garden of a low, 2" groundcover spilling over light colored stones, or nestled next to Sedum, "Golden" as a "Jar Gem". This is sure to be a garden classic.

This all green tropical shrub looks like a mini magnolia tree, but blooms most of the year! Grows best when temperatures are above 60 degrees (although a light frost is O.K.) Very appropriate for bonsai. Because of my divided attention between my sons and our business and the careful neglect I give my test subjects, I have gained yet another ""hat"", this one as unofficial tester of houseplants. I declare this plant the 2004/2005 winter winner of the ragaves of our warm, dry, poorly lit (compared to outdoors) home and oops! occasional watering!

A striking, variegated leaved miniature pink magnolia tree! Doesn't bloom as freely as ""Cherry Blossom"" but I have to admit, it does not need flowers to charm visitors. Like ""Cherry Blossom"", it prefers temperatures above 60 degrees (although a light freeze is okay) and does not like to dry out. Still, it is a great bonsai and miniature landscape tree.

As Serissa go, this is the tiniest leaved variety, although it grows rather quickly. 'Tiny Kyoto' is precisely proportioned as a tree for the smallest scale railroad, or as a shrub in large scale. Yes, it's suited for Zone 9-10 growers but it does just fine indoors, over winter. Occasionally, we're treated to its rare white-pink flowers.

Karen has not been able to kill this one in the house! (What?! That's not true - no, wait a minute, you're right.) Phenomenally tolerant to low light, even dry conditions. White, pink and green marbled leaves are 1/2 inch across when given lots of soil and fertilizer, but quickly "self-bonsai" down to 1/4" leaves when root bound, giving the appearance of a tricolored "Redbud" or "Katsura Tree". Our best miniature landscape tree for the summer shade garden and a delightfully colorful houseplant.

When you think of an evergreen landscape, arborvitae is a common plant but not this 5" impersonator. Naturally, it is THE tree in hardy perennial, shade gardens. Grown in large clumps it appears as a delicate fern, however, separated and grown in containers, it mirrors a tiny forest of trees. As perfect in Zone 5, as it is in Zone 11. KAREN

Will this miniaturization stop? Call it our stand against the fast food super size craze. Even St. John's Wort has been "lowered" to a 3!" Blue, oval leaves lay flattened on whispy branches but eventually layer upon one another to form a low mound. Like its taller cousin, bright yellow flowers show off in early summer.
