(Hens and Chicks)

This genus of exquisite small succulents contains about 40 species. These resilient, cold-hardy plants exist across the rocky and mountainous regions of Europe and Asia. They naturally inhabit the fissures and crevices of rocky outcrops where their fine roots become firmly anchored and easily obtain available water.

Sempervivum species form fleshy rosettes composed of thick, pointed leaves. The surfaces may be covered with short or long hairs, some are even thread-like. The leaves...

(Dusty Miller, Silver Ragwort)

Dusty miller is one of the great foliage fillers for sunny containers, beds and borders. Its soft, ferny, silvery white leaves compliment almost everything. Though commonly planted as an annual in temperate regions, this Mediterranean native is actually an evergreen perennial. In the second year, small golden daisies appear in summer.

Excellent drought and heat tolerance are two of the more desirable features of this sustainable bedding plant. It grows best in sites with full sun and well-drained...

(Moss Campion)

Bright green, needle-like leaves cheerfully support the deep pink blossoms in summer on the quaint moss campion. A circumboreal evergreen perennial, that is, native to the mountains of the lands closest the North Pole, the very dwarf plant forms low mounds that resembles tufts of moss.

The thin, bright green leaves form a low and rounded cushion. In summertime, small five petaled flowers with two notches at the tip of each petal appear on the plant, nearly covering all the foliage if soil is...

(Nodding Catchfly)

Charming and whimsical with its pale pink flowers, the nodding catchfly is a worthwhile addition to summer gardens. An annual native to the Mediterranean, it is short in stature and may slightly cascade or spread as it grows.

The leaves are mid-green but hairy and oval-shaped. This bushy plant will send up short stems in late spring to late summer, depending on climate, with loose clusters of either single or double (extra petals) light pink blossoms. The flower often hangs downward and reveals...
