All summer, pale pink, miniature snapdragon flowers prance over tiny, ivy-leaved, bright green foliage. Don't be fooled by its delicate appearance- it's a tough, ground-hugging, politely spreading groundcover, but, the more sun it gets, the more water it wants.

Here a 3” version that grows about the size of “Alpine Lady’s Mantle” but has more of the typical leaves, except they are very blue-green and have rhubarb red stems. Confused yet, well suffice to say that this one looks very unique and makes a great addition to an afternoon shady faery garden, trough, or alpine garden.

Blue foliage (like that of a blue spruce) distinguishes this "Dwarf Lady's Mantle." Compared to the standard form, it mimics the leaf shape and preference away from harsh hot sun, however, it can fit into smaller pockets, secret gardens and containers. KAREN

Absolutely the smallest, shortest, most compact Lady’s Mantle ever (or until we find one smaller). The sharply toothed 3/4” leaves with that wonderful silver edge absolutely hug the ground in full sun. Looks like a miniature “Bear’s Breach” or rhubarb depending on scale.

This miniature version of the popular traditional herb has a silvery edge that collects morning dew, appearing like tiny jewels.

Our "beach bum" plant (tanned, copper red leaves, set off by dazzling white, late Spring flowers), grows into an exotic, small shrub in only the warmest winters. Most of the US needs to move it indoors each Fall and back out each Spring, so I suggest you train it as a small tree to make those biennial moves easier. Related, but not used like the medicinal tea tree. KAREN

Intense heat and humidity may dog other alpines but these miniature snapdragons do not complain. Steady, Summer moisture and well drained soil is all that is needed. Another quality of plants is, like fragrances, they can transport you to other times. For me, as a curious child, playing with snapdragons was a daily, warm weather activity. Guess that's why this one's so special. KAREN

Go bananas over the dark blue and white flowers that never quit blooming above glossy green, heart shaped leaves. The flowers remind me of a miniature Mimulus. Although it is a tropical groundcover that loves the heat, we have found it be very compact and rather slow to spread. It just wants to flower. Great for mini landscapes or zone 8 and warmer, rainforest, railroad gardens. A Florida native.

This one could come right out of a "Midsummer Night's Dream" set. Delicate white blooms and green, upside down spade (deck of cards) leaves like filtered shade and good water. Great compliment to natural woodland plants of "Primroses, Hosta, Corydalis, and Ferns." If "Hostas" were the groom, this would be the bride. KAREN
