Irish Moss

Lush green foliage forms a dense, mosslike carpet. Ideal for planting between paving stones or on rock walls and excellent at garden's or water's edge or as a small-scale ground cover. Performs best in light, moist, well-drained soils.

Coral Bells

Coral Bells

Hummingbirds are drawn to the dainty flowers offset by bold, richly colored foliage. Gorgeous next to lady's mantle, delicate woodland ferns, or wide silvery-blue hosta leaves. The strong, straight stems are ideal in cut flower arrangements. Mulch lightly in winter to protect shallow roots. Prefers average, moist well-drained soil.
