(Barrenwort, Bishop's Hat, Fairy Wings)
One of the best groundcovers for dry shade, this evergreen to semi-evergreen perennial is prized for its handsome foliage and sunny spring flowers. It is a hybrid of Epimedium pinnatum var. colchicum and Epimedium perralderianum.
This hardy perennial forms dense, low, steadily expanding clumps of leathery compound leaves with heart-shaped to arrowhead-shaped, conspicuously toothed leaflets. The foliage is maroon and green when new, solid green in summer, and bronze-flushed...

(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,...

Silvery blue, finely-textured, evergreen leaves and masses of tiny, wispy flowers give Elliott's lovegrass an attractive, hazy look in summer. This lovely perennial bunch grass is native to the southeastern United States and islands of the upper Caribbean where it inhabit coastal lands and dry prairies.
Elliott's lovegrass produces relatively low, clumps of wiry, blue-green blades in tones of silvery gray. It blooms sporadically through the year but tends to flower the heaviest in fall. Scores...

(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...
