(Baby Sun Rose, Heartleaf Ice Plant)

The small, heart-shaped leaves of baby sun rose contrast with its magenta-red, daisy-like flowers. This tender, succulent, creeping evergreen perennial is native to southern Africa.

The fleshy leaves are bright green, heart-shaped, and covered in very tiny hairs, and thus feel felt-like. The flowers, with many string-like petals surrounding a small, yellow-white eye, are the size of a large thumbnail and open only when the sun is shining. They are a rich magenta-red and attract butterflies.

(Clementine Blue Columbine, Columbine)

A compact habit and densely packed double flowers characterize members of the Clementine Series. In early to late spring neat, dwarf plants put forth masses of double, spurred blooms that may be red, white, purple, violet-blue, pink or salmon, depending on the cultivar.
