Pure white, miniature iris flowers reign above the grassy green foliage in spring and repeat in the fall in relation to cooler times of the year. Native to some pretty harsh, rocky parts of the country. Shorter than "Dwarf Purple" and great for troughs and mini landscapes.

Grows taller than "Dwarf Purple" and "Dwarf White" with broader leaves and bright, sunshine-yellow, miniature, iris flowers. Like it's S. striatum cousin, it enjoys moist soils. Non-stop flowers brighten our greenhouse even in December as it blizzards outdoors. Should do even better in southern Florida and California gardens. Comine with "Blue Star Creeper" and "Elfin Herb" for blooming wetlands!

We love the name and its stylish maroon red with yellow throated flowers that arrive in late spring or early summer. Combine those with its slim, dark green, grassy foliage and you've got a tasteful pairing of "country meets city" for most of the summer.

'Bolax' tiny, slick, dark green rosettes feel almost like, (forgive me,) plastic or "Astro-Turf." Hard-to-kill, armor-like pads virtually follow every contour of the ground creating a cozy bed for sweet, little, yellow flowers in early summer.

We cherish the contrast this hot and sunny ground cover offers with purple, fern-like leaves tipped in red. Lookis antique! Call it a sun-loving "Walk-About" version of "Platt's Black Faerie Fern." It also prefers loose, well drained soil to provide a porous playground for underground runners.

All “Calibrachoa” are extra compact varieties with 3/4 inch miniature “Petunia” flowers. They also require small vinegar or gypsum doses as needed to keep pH low & prevent iron chlorosis. After the winter of 07/08 we found these far more cold tolerant, than they are given credit. Good to 10 degree F

"Everwhite" foliage acquires pure white flowers in the Spring making this alpine even whiter. In trough gardens, plant on the edge of the container to trail over the edge. Absolutely not for humid Summer areas.

Snapdragon means "presumption" in flower talk, but do not presume by the appearance of miniature purple snapdragron-shaped, yellow throated flowers that this is even related. Despite the flowers being too little to squeeze and make talk (if you grew up with snapdragons you know what I mean), they're "faery" cute. KAREN

This faery find is often mistaken for a dwarf fern, until bright yellow flowers bloom with the first crocus and continue until late spring. The seed will politely spread to a soft groundcover in any shady area- even dry. Perfect companion to "Faery Ferns, Primroses, and mini Hostas.
