(Barrenwort, Orion Barrenwort, Orion Bishop's Hat)
A classic groundcover for dry shady locations, Orion barrenwort's heart-shaped leaves and rose-violet flower display in late spring makes it one of the prettiest of perennials, too. A clump forming herbaceous perennial from northern China, Korea and Japan, it becomes a nice robust clump through its rhizomes (underground stems).
Each leaf is made up of about nine leaflets, each being shaped like a heart and having spined and thinly reddened margins. When leaves first emerge they have a bronze...

(Red Alpine Barrenwort, Red Barrenwort)
A pretty groundcover, the hybrid red alpine barrenwort has reddish new leaves, bicolored red and light yellow flowers in mid- and late spring and reddened foliage again in fall and winter. This species was created with the crossing of Epimedium alpinum with Epimedium grandiflorum. It spreads via underground stems (rhizomes) but forms lovely foliage mounds. It is semi-evergreen where winters are cold but mild.
The leaves are elongated hearts or simple ovals and are found in clusters...

(Horsetail)
This ancient plant is flowerless and spreads by rhizomes. Commonly called horsetail, it is a hardy evergreen perennial that consists of fine, hollow, green stems divided by black-rimmed joints. It has a broad natural distribution and can be found growing in temperate regions throughout North America and Eurasia.
Horsetail prefers moist to wet organic-rich soil and will tolerate full sun to partial sun. It can become invasive if not properly contained or maintained and looks best in naturalistic...

(Dwarf Horsetail, Dwarf Scouringrush)
Dwarf horsetail is a fast growing evergreen perennial native to North America, Europe and eastern Asia. It is grown for its short green rushlike hollow stems with black bands. Rather than flowers, in late summer and autumn, a small light brown reproductive structure (called a strobilus) appears on each stem tip.
Dwarf horsetail loves moisture and is often seen in impressive colonies in bogs, low, wet soils or in shallow water such as lake or streamside. As it is an indefinite spreading plant thicket,...

(Purple Lovegrass)
Purple lovegrass, above its classy green leaves, displays pretty reddish to purpled sprays of flowers and seeds in late summer and fall. This lovely perennial, bunching, warm-season grass is native to the eastern two-thirds of the United States, and parts of northern Mexico. The relatively low, clump-forming mass of light green leaves is highlighted with stems of many small flowers in late summer. The red-purple flowers are lovely en masse on the plant, and will yield burgundy-red seeds. The flower...
(Sand Lovegrass)
Sand lovegrass is a tall bunching grass with a pleasing weeping foliage habit, and tall stems of seedheads that often flop in late summer. A perennial native to a large portion of the central United States, it is usually found in sandy, open woodlands or meadows. The green leaves are graceful and slightly arching to upright, and in late spring, tall stems arise and are topped with panicles, or branched clusters of tiny yellow flowers that turn purplish, eventually red-purple when seeds are ripe....
